In the context of the urban project, this issue emerges at different scales: the neighbourhood that has to offer fragments with different, interlinked uses, blocks in which several functions have to be1

Fast transport networks reinforced this extreme fragmentation. Neighbourhood regeneration is an opportunity to go beyond this segregationist approach. The aim is to introduce links between buildings by inserting int1

Protecting natural resources and minimising the use of fossil energy requires a densification of existing urban fabrics. But when the majority of city dwellers dream of a house in the country, with urban services nearby, how do you design a dense habitat that nevertheless attracts people? Le Corbusier invented the typology of the “block villa” that was to reconcile t1
