Marseille Belle de Mai FvLab, Presentation

The Marseille Belle de Mai Fairville lab is initiated by 4 partners: Centre-Ville Pour Tous (CVPT), APPUII, Collective of Organized Inhabitants in the 3rd district (CHO3) & CNRS. It focuses on the “Fringe of Euromed”, defined by a multiplication of public and private actors and the overlapping of different urban renewal policies, operations, and spaces. In this friction zone, the lab intents on the one hand to observe to what extent these operations reduce or reinforce inequalities and socio-spatial fractures, and the effects of the ambition declared by the public authorities to co-construct the city with its inhabitants. On the other hand, in the sense of an action-research, the lab aims to cooperate with different local associative actors in a perspective of coproduction, cooperation and mutual learning according to the principle of “education Populaire”.
