In order to envision what the Porte des Alpes will be like tomorrow, on 29 November 2021 Lyon Métropole launched a major international urban planning consultation in cooperation with the French government, the cities of Bron, Chassieu and Saint-Priest, the Rhone and Lyon Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (Sytral) and the Lyon Area Planning Authority (Sepal).

The aim: to provide this area with several contrasting scenarios for the future, by calling on talents from around the globe.

The "International town planning consultation on the Grande Porte des Alpes area (in the towns of Bron, Chassieu and Saint-Priest)" call for tenders

Lyon Métropole wishes to consult 3 multidisciplinary teams simultaneously on developments in the Grande Porte des Alpes area, a 1,350-hectare site located in the eastern Lyon metropolitan area spanning the towns of Bron, Chassieu and Saint-Priest.

The 3 teams selected following this call for tenders will each be called upon to offer a vision for this area, without competing with each other. They will develop contrasting medium and long-term visions and concrete avenues for the gradual redevelopment of this area over time.

This international consultation is part of a forward-looking strategic reflection process prior to operational projects, with outputs that will likely inform decision-making.

The 3 selected teams will come up with development scenarios that will be shared with academics, experts and local stakeholders in order to fuel the debate through a program of seminars, forums and interactive events.
