France Inter: The Future of Urban Planning

Check out the France Inter podcast, published in September 2022, in which journalist Olivier Marin (editor-in-chief of the Figaro Group’s real estate division) presents a brief biography of Franck Boutté. In the episode, he talks about the various objectives targeted by Atelier Franck Boutté’s projects, the definition of TEGPOS (a “Positive Energy Region”), and the studio’s different areas of intervention.

The podcast also looks at the Notre-Dame project, where Atelier Franck Boutté is studying the future of the cathedral square (Parvis Notre-Dame) and its access to shade, water, and vegetation, with the aim of adapting the public space to changing climate conditions.

“How do we build open structures that are capable of absorbing hazards, directions, that are in our power to know but aren’t necessarily known right now?”
