Lyon

Particularly important tool in urban redevelopment of Lyon is a method of the public dialogue, as an innovative participation method initiated by local authorities of Grand Lyon and developed into a current form by Mission Prospective.
The Greater Lyon’s “Plan of Action for a Technological Metropolis” stresses innovation basic theme of development. The methodology uses new public management tools and stresses the motivation role of local government. The Plan of Action aims to create synergies between companies and academic research and brings together scientific research, education and industry on one site. It is seen as the symbol of Lyon’s emergence into the age of development. The strategy for Gerland elaborated and implemented by the Mission, bases on four main dimensions: social - proximity, economic/cultural - image, environmental - green development and translocation - connections; they redirect the area towards the overall city structure, form which Gerland was long isolated.
