Human Cities╱
Challenging the City Scale
Occupying empty spaces to try out new working or educational methods, bringing makers together to contribute to the development of neighbourhood, activating and improving the quality of public spaces with cultural players, voluntary bodies, users and local residents, etc. A non-exhaustive list of the experiments carried out by the 12 partners⑴ in the European Human Cities_ Challenging the City Scale project led by the Cité du design from 2014 to 2018 as part of the European Union's Creative Europe/Culture programme.
The Human Cities project challenges the "urban scale" and looks at the co-creation of the city. Saint-Etienne is distinguished by its nature as a creative laboratory, where the players working in the field develop action and methodologies with local people to transform the city. The Cité du design has created a tool for stimulating and fostering contacts between all the local sources of energy and creativity: C.H.O.S.E (Collective Human Citizens Office of Saint-Etienne Experimentations), with the support of Ville de Saint-Etienne, Saint-Etienne Métropole and the EPASE
Within this framework, an urban trail links these sites and the initiatives of the Saint-Etienne collectives in the Crêt de Roch and Beaubrun neighbourhoods:
Ici bientôt Hypermatière
The experiments conducted by international and local partners are presented in the Human Cities exhibition-lab on the Cité du design site and in a dedicated space in Rue de la République : Human Citizens office.
