Europan 14: Productive Angers
Production in cities is changing in two ways. Firstly, it is embracing a new relationship
with local markets through ‘value’ and locally produced food and products.
Secondly, it is the importance of knowledge based specialisation which may
target a particular industry.

Angers has the great fortune of having Saint-Serge. While many cities have pushed
production out of their city centres, turning former industrial areas into housing or
offices the industrial area of Saint-Serge offers Angers a huge opportunity. The
opportunity to create a new neighbourhood that demonstrates a unique collaboration
between production, living, working and play. A place that drives innovation, takes
advantage of the shared economy, and benefits the whole of the city to strengthen
Anger’s position as the productive heart of the region.

The proposal consists of process-based integral participation planning for 10 coming years. Solutions and concept ideas are focused not only on physical interventions, but rather on a complex development strategy. The opportunity to create a new neighbourhood that demonstrates a unique collaboration between production, living, working and play. A place that drives innovation, takes advantage of the shared economy, and benefits the whole of the city to strengthen Anger’s position as the productive heart of the region.
