France-Grenoble: Preliminary market consultation on “Green and Climate neutral City Hub"

Background 

Grenoble-Alpes Métropole is composed of 49 municipalities and 450.000 inhabitants. The Metropole is carrying out an ambitious development project called GRANDALPE 25 with the City of Grenoble, Echirolles and Eybens. This project concerns an area with 30.000 inhabitants and 40.000 jobs and aims to make this district an active living space, an innovative economic hub, and a leader in new mobility. The GRANDALPE project is also intended to be a demonstrator of the ecological transition and will mobilise all the assets to build a city without fossil fuels. Within this meta-project, the Metropole is developing a new way of doing the “Fabrique de la ville” with 3 main areas of work:

• (a) promoting the voice of citizens in its development
• (b) mixing culture and art in the project
• (c) developing tactical urbanism

The objective is to develop temporary activities / projects with all the resources and stakeholders (companies, SSE actors, artists, and citizens) to prefigure the transformation of the territory.

Expected outcome

The expected outcome should be a platform allowing:

• To offer an inventory of the metropolitan territory by gathering data relating to the levels of waterproofing, vegetation, heat islands, etc.
• To open this information to all development stakeholders so that they can improve their project
• To have updated data in order to assess the impact of projects on the indicators
• To be able to model the impact of different scenarios on the indicators
• To make this information accessible and intelligible to citizens to explain the major development choices.

The preliminary market consultation will take place on 5 July at 09.30-12.30 CEST. The link will be sent to the registered participants before the meeting.
