Residents actively involved in the project

The success of the Ile de Nantes project depends on its ability to be shared and appreciated by all. From the outset, the urban project was discussed and debated with input, suggestions and initiatives from residents, associations, designers and other economic and social stakeholders. Meetings were held with the members of the Neighbourhood Consultation Committee to explain the project, task forces were created, and officials organized urban walks in the field with professionals, site visits, exhibits in Nantes and elsewhere, and promoted active participation through cultural events. Every opportunity was seized to present, explain and discuss the project so everyone could get involved.

Urban Expeditions

The urban expeditions organized by ARDEPA and the City of Nantes allow people to observe and discuss the urban transformations under way. In 2009, a new series of expeditions is scheduled.
