Overview


In 2010, the Metropolitan Lyon authority started reviewing the future of the Part-Dieu district to meet the major challenges posed by economic, real-state and urban development.

By creating a development zone in the Part-Dieu district, Metropolitan Lyon wanted to develop sustainable forms of mobility, make the area a more pleasant place to live and boost its economic appeal through the development of a new real-estate offering.

For this project, Metropolitan Lyon asked setec  to carry out an impact study.
