ATELIERS DE MAITRISE D'OEUVRE URBAINE DE CERGY PONTOISE
International Workshop "Une Ville de la Connaissance et de l'Innovation à l'Ouest du Grand Paris"
The Cergy-Pontoise International Urban Project Management Workshops "A city of knowledge and innovation west of Greater Paris". The aim of this three-week international workshop was to bring Cergy-Pontoise and throughout the COMUE Université Paris-Seine, the uninhibited visions of students and young professionals from five continents. Divided into three teams of seven, we learned about the challenges and projects of Cergy-Pontoise for a week. Then for two weeks, the teams developed a project which was presented to an international jury of twenty-three people.
At the end of this competition, my team won the innovation prize for the AXE 109 project.
The AxE 109 project worked on three principles:
- Define a brand image for Cergy-Pontoise in order to improve its visibility, then focus on the ripple effect and positive spinoffs for universities and companies present in the region;
- Identify and improve intermediate spaces (reuse existing constructions with a new
more suitable and flexible programming, construct two large buildings, harmonize public spaces to put them at the service of soft mobility) to link existing activity points;
- Install physical intermodalities (new means of modular air and land transport) and digital (a mobile application to centralize information for students and residents, with the event, transport offer, courses, places of trades...).
