[EN] Sustainable, democratic, resilient, inclusive urban regeneration means working with inhabitants when cities are transformed, giving them the opportunity to collaborate in the city’s creation. This research studies the relationship between graphic creativity and citizen participation for architectural and university applications in urban processes to build the city, and in the strategies and means to operate it. In schools, this relationship reveals glimpses of new ways of alternative learning. As a research method, we analyze examples that have influenced various graphic disciplines and technological implementations, and urban art practices that have emerged from citizen struggles. The results illustrate that the urban project can be taught by incorporating collaborative design, with strategies such as street art, collective maps or tactical urbanism, and urban sketching and virtual reality, taken together as means of enriching the creative, artistic and educational processes., [ES] Una transformación urbana sostenible, democrática, resiliente e inclusiva significa trabajar con la comunidad local, dándole la oportunidad de colaborar en la creación de la ciudad. Esta investigación estudia la relación que existe entre creatividad gráfica y participación ciudadana para su aplicación en arquitectura y universidades, tanto en los procesos arquitectónicos para construir la ciudad como en los procesos de estrategias y medios para operar. En las Escuelas, se permite entrever nuevas maneras de aprendizaje alternativo. Como método de análisis, nos centramos en ejemplos, incluyendo disciplinas gráficas y de implementación tecnológica, pero también prácticas de arte urbano que surgieron de las luchas ciudadanas. Los resultados enseñan que se puede enseñar el proyecto urbano incorporando el diseño colaborativo, con herramientas como el arte callejero, el dibujo, los mapas colectivos o el urbanismo táctico, como medio de enriquecimiento de los procesos creativos y artísticos para la construcción de la ciudad., Esta investigación fue apoyada por el Programa Nacional de Investigación, Desarrollo e Innovación dirigido a los Retos de la Sociedad, con referencias BIA2016-77464-C2-1-R y BIA2016-77464-C2-2-R.

Un projet de redéveloppement des espaces publics le long de l’axe de la Borde-Bellevaux pose un défi pour l’aménageur. Pour répondre à cette tâche, l’étude présentée dans ce rapport s’appuie sur l’expertise de chercheurs associés au HRC, sur l’expertise des collaborateurs de la Ville de Lausanne (Service des parcs et domaines, Service de l’urbanisme, et Service des routes et de la mobilité), sur les documents mis à disposition par la DEP et sur les outils cartographiques publics du Canton de Vaud et de la Ville de Lausanne. La démarche retenue est à la fois interdisciplinaire, avec la mise en commun d’expertises scientifiques multiples, et transdisciplinaire, avec la mise en commun de savoir-faire scientifique, opérationnel, pratique, citoyen et politique. De plus, l’approche retenue se situe dans une démarche projectuelle, c’est-à-dire qu’elle utilise le projet de transformation urbaine comme moteur d’identification des problématiques, thèmes et échelles pertinents. À ce titre, le rapport établit une série de recommandations basées sur un devenir souhaitable de l’aménagement des espaces publics et du fonctionnement de la ville. Par son caractère de projet de recherche, l’étude vise aussi à produire une série de nouvelles connaissances empiriques sur le secteur de la Borde-Bellevaux, et de manière plus large sur les spatialités techniques, architecturales, sociales et naturelles environnantes. L’étude a été réalisée par les chercheurs associés au HRC pour ce qui concerne leur domaine de compétences et coordonnées par le Dr Shin Alexandre Koseki.

This research study offers a reflection on the Alpine urban condition through the observation of the spaces of production. Departing from the premise that the tourist economy cannot be the only possible horizon for Alpine development, this thesis reflects on the role and the potentialities of the spaces of production in the construction process of the Alpine city-territory. The economic-ecological transition underway offers the chance to redefine the productive and settlement geography of the Alpine territories, by examining anew their centrality in the European context. The main objective of this research is to investigate the relation between the economy and the construction of the territory. In this prospect, the spaces of production and their related infrastructure are used as a lens through which the question of settlement development can be read and conceptualised. This exploration has been carried out via intense work "in the field". The experience of the territories is here portrayed through a series of descriptive operations, including 6 industrial micro(hi)stories that enable the specificities of some exemplary industrial realities to be grasped and understood in relation to the surrounding territorial context. The case study covers a cross-border Alpine transect located between Lake Leman and Lake Maggiore. A territory along which a strategic European corridor runs, connecting the two great metropolises of the plains: the Métropole Lémanique and the Milanese Metropolitan Area. The cross-border character of the area under study offers the opportunity of comparing different logics of territorial industrialisation that also have strongly different economic policies and models of settlement development. The research study is structured in 3 parts The first part ,that reviews the existing literature and presents the territory under study, tackles, on the one hand, the centrality and potentialities of the Alpine space in the European context and, on the other, makes explicit the role of the infrastructures and the spaces of production in the construction of the Alpine city-territory. The second part observes the Alpine territory through three key paradoxes: -the energy paradox, that raises the contradictions associated with an unsustainable exploitation of local natural resources by extra-local economic actors; -the cross-border paradox, that reveals the very contradictions of a territory crossed by European infrastructural corridors not always attentive to the inclusion of the dynamics of local development; -the metropolitan paradox, that highlights the social and environmental risks associated with a polarised economic-settlement development of the Alpine region. This delineation of a possible synergy between settlement and productive development in the Alps has in the end enabled the proposal, in the third part, of 3 new images for the Alpine city territory, three "New Alpine Ecologies": -the "productive mesh", that highlights the need for an economic-settlement organisation more coherent with local ecological equilibriums; -the "Alpine-metropolitan figures", that forces the existing synergies between Alpine territories and the metropolises of the plains, in the assumption of a single system capable of enriching itself thanks to the complementary nature of both parts; -the "network of Alpine valleys", that shows the potentialities of a new federative geography, bearer of the political awareness of the Alpine region in Europe.

International audience; Starting from several field-works done inside cross-border Alpine valleys – connected to the metropolitan areas of the lowland plains – and supported by a cartographic work that brings together spatial and statistical data on industrial demography at the whole scale of the Alps, this contribution attempts to open a critical reflection on the polarization, specialization and marginalization of the Alpine territories. The central aspect of this work is to bind the shape of the alpine city-territory to the structure of the industrial and infrastructural space, by revealing the real substance of the «Alpine productive platform» and by explaining its strength and its strategic importance in the light of the “third-fourth industrial revolution”. The Alps, thanks to the huge presence of natural resources and to their strategic position, could attempt a possible renegotiation of their marginality and subservience to the metropolitan areas of the plain, guiding a new season of economic and social development.
