C.H.O.S.E experimenting in St.-Etienne

Saint-Étienne
 
  • Date: 01.01.2016 – 15.03.2017

The first action of C.H.O.S.E is to launch a call for initiatives for local actors in order to establish an experimental program in 2016 – 2017 (see calendar below)

The result of this call for initiatives was very rich: 4 local actors came forward and presented their initiatives.

  • Dynamic Boutic ! : investing vacant commercial spaces with local competences to test activities responding to social and economic issues in the Beaubrun district.
  • Mutability : actions  accompanying the renovation period of Crêt de Roc  district, favouring a changeable, adaptable and user-quality centred vision of urban project
  • IRD sensitive  Lab  : narrating the challenging scales, perceptions and movements of a city under transformation
  • Mynalab : documenting the process and fostering the capacity building of bottom-up processes of urban experimentations through the competences of Saint-Etienne and Lyon third places

Recent updates:

We have met these four groups of actors collectively and individually which was the opportunity for them to present themselves, their initiatives but also their visions and goals.

During those meetings we discussed the details of their initiatives and we debated and reflected upon ways to mix their know-hows and cross-disciplinary approaches to challenge the urban transformations in Saint-Etienne!

Our next meeting is planned for the end of April and the goal is to see how exactly the experimentations will take place!
