>> Urban New Deal: Draw me a bio-inspired, regenerative and adaptive city.

Habitat is not only for humans. Nature also lives in cities, biotopes, ecosystems; develops buildings, shelters, networks, ... through living systems and structures, capable of continuous adaptation.

Our current cities are not adapted to climate change, which makes them particularly vulnerable and exposes their inhabitants to great risks. They also contribute significantly to the destruction of biodiversity, which makes humanity as a whole more vulnerable.

All cities and territories want to become "neutral" for climate, energy, carbon ... and "positive" for biodiversity, and are launching major projects and consultations to achieve this, and calling for new "city contracts".

How can we respond? What are the main lessons to be learned from living things in order to rewrite the specifications of our living spaces? to design them and live them differently? In the service of biodiversity and in response to climate issues. A precise and uncompromising look at the current issues and trends. Sharing and revealing the work carried out over the last two years, illustrated by a review of concrete examples around major structuring themes: bio-inspired renovation; heat and cool islands; the zero energy city. The sequence will end with a presentation of what a bio-inspired call for tenders for the real estate and city of tomorrow would look like.

>> (Re)reconciling Real Estate and Ecology

Everyone knows that the real estate sector must make its ecological revolution. But the sector is not doing it fast enough? in a way that is not proactive and innovative enough? This is probably what led Lauranne Schied to make it a professional obsession, an uncompromising objective, to imagine the city, the buildings, our living environment, by rethinking the materials, the short circuits, our link with Nature. Revolutionising real estate in search of (good) sense. Explanations.

>> Under the paving stones, the earth

What if the green urban revolution did not depend only on architects, urban planners, ecologists, private and public contractors and legislators? What if it was also (and above all?) a citizens' dynamic, a return of power to the inhabitants of their own living spaces? An urban guerrilla escapade with a determined woman who is determined to reinvite Nature into the city.

>> City in translation

From the major institutional players to the citizens themselves - who are demanding Nature, via a multitude of committed initiatives, the real estate world is in translation, is being shaken up, and is shaking itself up. Testimony and examples on this journey in translation.

>> Winning the water battle

Everyone knows that water is essential to life. Water is also essential to the future of cities, and we risk paying a high price if we do not take it into account. From food to energy, from our own physiological well-being to the greening of cities, everything depends on water. And the more global warming gets out of control, the more frequent, brutal and increasingly intense the water crises will be. Cities are and will be the main victims if they do not develop the capacity to 'absorb' these water shocks. Thinking about water means thinking about the city of tomorrow.

>> Reintegrating the water cycle in cities

Presentation of a panel of solutions already tested and implemented, always adapted to their geographical and urban environments, to rethink the place of Nature & Water in cities and benefit from their ecosystemic virtues.

>> From proteins to cities: how can we optimise the geography of cities to make exchanges and flows more fluid?

How to cope with urban growth? 

Should cities sprawl more and more or become denser?

Is it possible to densify sustainably? 

Presentation of a diagnostic kit for urban land use errors and how protein can help us understand these errors, correct them and guide us to a more sustainable use of urban space.

>> How hybridization will transform territories!

For a number of years now, we have been witnessing an accelerated hybridization of our world, affecting practically all areas of our lives: modes of consumption and marketing, companies and public institutions, buildings, ways of living and working, professions, objects, territories, materials, products, uses and services, etc. We are witnessing the emergence of new combinations and re-combinations; we are entering the era of unlikely marriages! Since nothing fits into our boxes and all our definitions are shattered, we will have to redefine everything! What is the city we want to live in? What are the territories in which we want to move? What if the premises of this ongoing hybridisation were the weak signal that the silos that fracture our society are being broken down?
