These sites will resonate with the new theme defined for this session. After two sessions on the theme of the adaptable city, Europan is now focusing on "productive cities".
How mixed is the mixed city?
In many post-industrial urban development projects, housing is the main program. One wisely adds some offices and public facilities, one remains eager to stimulate bars, shops and restaurants because one wants each new urban project to be a "truly dynamic urban district". Looking back on how this wave of urban regeneration has been organised, we can see how a single programme, the productive economy, has been systematically excluded.
