1 Quentin Chaillet Alric Bonvallet Gauthier Hunout Task 3: Providing examples Euroméditérranée

2 Euromediterrannee project is an urban renovation project which is located in Marseille South West area. Marseille is the third city of France. His population is habitants and his urban area is habitants. His density of population is km/hab². At the South West area, there is the Mediterranean Sea. This is why, the area have the shipyard and the international ferry terminal. At north of the shipyard finds it two popular district: la Joliette and la Villette. Moreover, Saint-Charles station area is impacted by this project. The project of Euromediterannee would like to improve these areas, understand how urbanists and architects improve it and how can use us these adjustments for oikonet project. We will describe the Euromediterrannee urban project, we will understand the gentrification risk and we will compare the both cities of Marseille and Belgrad. I) Euromediterrannee project Euromediterrannee project is an urban project which takes the shape of an Opération d intérêt national. Through this shape Marseille s councilors get national subsidies. It enables to reassure private developers who can invest in new urban areas. Indeed, all areas hasn't been manage by the same method. Each area has his own design,he both public subsidy origins and private invests are used with several interests. By examples, Joliette area will becomes a business district so it will build with private invests or Saint Charles station will enables to growth users of this station so it will receives public subsidies. Then, urban morphological takes old shapes. Only some buildings are destroyed to open the space. By example, old docksides area becomes the business district.

3 If this area have been altered they create a new skyline. Indeed, one important thing of this project is Marseille s international prestige. Indeed, councilors and elected national members would like that Marseille will becomes Mediterranean front gate to France. That s why; moreover, some starchitecks are called for built one building with their name. For example, Yves Lion realized the Musée National des civilisations de l Europe et de la Méditerranée (MUCEM). 2) The inhabitants and the project This project is created the most possible with the residents of the refurbished zone. If the Joliette sector is principally conceived to become a business neighborhood, it's the Saint-Charles's sector which is the most interesting on that point. Indeed, that zone is currently poor and welcomes a lot of strangers and ethnic communities. For example, a lot of Maghreb immigrants, installed since the Algeria War, live into. That sector owns also a lot of difficulties. Unemployment is very strong and concerns 31% of the population. A lot of families are divided and children are often raised by lonely mothers. Moreover, the dwellings often are dirty, uncomfortable or insalubrious for 20% of them, that generates a lot of problems like energetic poverty and health troubles. Finally, the whole public space is derelict and not attractive for tourists and investors.

4 The Euromediterranee Project, in order to improve Marseille's city center, includes that neighborhood. But, at the beginning, the economical project is overall thank for international investors and not for local economy. Step by step, the objectives of euromediterannee changed, and the urban planners Illustration 1: Current works in 2016 and all the actors of the project want to allow a true place to the dwellers, in order to realize a economical center but also a livable city. Two important dwelling programs were edict : OPAH Rue de la République and OPAH Euroméditérranée. These operations represent 10,000 dwellings : 4,000 new and 6,000 renovations. But the inhabitants' participation was very completed to manage. Because of poverty and low education level, dwellers weren't implicated a lot into the arrangement phases, whereas associations were engaged to protect them against speculation or gentrification. For example, Rue de la République's renovation, these associations were opposed to the local shops' suppression by big companies and french chains. Step by step, planners used new ways of arrangement, increasing social communication and reduced the economical aspect. The opening of a project's house at the center of the poor neighborhood helps the population to engage itself into the urban project. of At the end of the operation, old and new inhabitants arrived to work together and with local authorities, to create their neighborhood. So, if gentrification is present in that project, it,s seen as a good point for the majority of the population and is not perceived like a negative point. 3) Comparison between Euroméditerranée and Kosacicev venac : There are some common points between the district in euroméditerranée and Kosacicev Venac : Cities who are quite the same size : The urban area of Belgrade count hab it's quite the same as the urban area of Marseille ( hab.). Then, their goal in case of developement are at the same scales, and they are both of us important cities.

5 The Localisation : Both of them are close to the historic center of the city. Kosacicev venac, is between the sava port and the old city, like the Jolette district in euroméditerranée who is between the harbour and the city center. The important Historical part : In the two areas, there are some old buildings from the 19 th century who needs a revitalization. They need to be rebuild, because most of the buildings and streets are old and destroys. But people have some attachements in their neighborhood. They don't want to destroy the building because of the architecture and their story. A developement from the 18th century : The two distrcit have increase in the 18 th century with the industrialization. With the devloppement the cities have to create and develop some new district around the old city. With the economic impact oh the harbours, the district became more and more important with many habitants, and workers. They have also a church important in the identity of the area. Post industrial cities with harbour activities The link between the two project is they are post industrial cities and need a revitalization because of the crisis. They need to find a new developpement, some kind of improvement, in new buildings and activities. This are the reasons we choose Euroméditérranée, because of the similiarities bewteen the cities. They have the same social-économic context, and the same problematic about their development in the globalization, and their european integration. The project we choose can't already show us what didn't worked. But we can get some problematics about it. Then, it is our goal to use them for the devlopement of Kosacicev Venac.
