The first week of June, a international INTA panel has been invited by the City of Vaulx-en-Velin in the agglomeration of Lyon, France, to review the relation between the center and the periphery, 20 years after a previous INTA panel.

The questions that were raised by the panel were: what are the results 20 years after a first INTA Panel in Vaulx-en-Velin on restructuring the City centre? Which centrality to envisage for the next 20 years when the City is confronted with a series of new challenges: a newly created polarity in the south, a major urban renewal project in the north, a need to improve the connections between the various neighbourhoods, a position to ascertain in the agglomeration of Grand Lyon, plus continuing social, economic and environmental problems?

The Panel opened a new line of reflection on the future development of the City centre, to make it a vibrant pole able to balance the new commercial development around the “Carré de Soie”, to be an attractive functional place complementing the other districts of the city, and to provide the agglomeration with a coherent space for economic development and social cohesion.
