Transforming the Street

In February 2022, Franck Boutté was a guest on B Smart, an economics and financial news channel, to discuss urban transformation and Atelier Franck Boutté.

In this video, Franck talks about the ambitions of the studio, its goals, as well as the La Rue Commune project (The Shared Street). Franck underlines the importance of citizen involvement in urban transformation. He believes that participatory processes and public consultation are key to creating inclusive cities, where the needs and aspirations of every individual are taken into account.

La Rue Commune is above all a call to common action, a project that aims to produce knowledge that can be used—and used by everyone. Through this program, an ordinary street today can become a shared street tomorrow. The main aim of this collective project, headed by Leonard, Richez_Associés, and Atelier Franck Boutté, is to encourage action rather than to impose ideas.

This interview with B Smart highlights the importance of innovation, sustainability, and citizen participation in building smart and eco-friendly cities.
