Acting on private property
Tour organized by the Council for Architecture, Urban Planning, and the Environment (CAUE) of Rhône Metropole
Duration: 3 hours - Tour departure: 9:00 AM / Return: 12:00 PM
Meeting point: SETEC, 97 boulevard Marius Vivier Merle (69003 Lyon)
DESCRIPTION
The private sector covers 80% of metropolitan France, and depending on local authority regulations, it is difficult to require private stakeholders to manage stormwater at the source. However, some developers are aware of these issues and carry out exemplary projects designed to address stormwater management challenges. To highlight this, the CAUE (Council for Architecture, Urban Planning and the Environment) invites you to take part in a visit focused exclusively on private property. You will therefore visit a condominium and a residential complex in the urban center of Lyon.

Green mobility and water mirrors: Lyon by bike
Duration: 3 hours - Tour departure: 9:00 AM / Return: 12:00 PM
Meeting point: agence "Location Lyon vélo", 3 rue des trois pierres (69007 Lyon)
DESCRIPTION
Through a relaxed bike tour, the Lyon Urban Planning Agency invites you to explore the city via its rivers and the urban developments that highlight water.
As river metropolis, Lyon was built thanks to and around the Rhône and the Saône. The Confluence area, in particular, offers a unique site that presents numerous challenges for urban projects. After a period when cars dominated the riverbanks, the reclaiming of the rivers reconnects people directly with water and promotes conviviality.
Today, the riverbanks are establishing themselves as an important urban, social, and natural space. Urban first and foremost, as they constitute a major axis for active and carbon-free mobility. Social, because they enable significant renewal by offering places for conviviality and encounters. Finally, ecological, with a high density of vegetation to create an urban green-blue network. Water now contributes to the quality of life of residents, serving multiple uses. You will discover this richness through seven emblematic sites along the way.

Duration: 3 hours - Start: 9:00 AM / End: 12:00 PM
Meeting point: SETEC, 97 boulevard Marius Vivier Merle (69003 Lyon)

JEU'MAPI
Sim-MANA
A serious game combining computer simulation and role-playing, that aims to encourage local stakeholders to think about flood risk management. Their common goal is to protect a virtual city from flooding by developing the area using various strategies, including nature-based solutions. The computer tool allows players to visualize the course of the flood and assess its consequences (material and human impact). Performance indicators include risk management, social, environmental, and economic assessments.
