Participatory urban park project
Rouen Normandie Metropolis
France
Métropole Rouen Normandie (FR) has taken up a daring challenge, to offer to its residents a 28-hectare green lung in the heart of the city. Residents and associations have been invited to transform a former racecourse into a space for leisure and relaxation for all, while preserving the natural ecosystem. The park's educational farm, local producers' shop and restaurant, all run by local stakeholders, offer residents a range of activities based around urban agriculture, while art and design elements reflect the memory of the racecourse.
