New urban players and urban services
Digital giants, local startups and participatory democracy on the one hand, municipal governance, forgotten cities and a desire for the state on the other: the paradoxes of transition in metropolises.
The theme of this 21st meeting, vast if ever there was one, allowed us to welcome a wide variety of interventions, each in its own way rich in lessons.
We thus glimpsed, beyond the simplistic vision of the smart city, the extraordinary interweaving of the challenges of the digital revolution which has only just begun. We learned about the chain of causes that led to the abandonment of Project Yellow Park, and this presentation reminded us how useful it is to analyse our failures. We have shared the intelligence poured into the construction of the Lyon metropolitan pact, from which we can draw inspiration.
Beyond these three examples, I would like to thank all the speakers and salute the great interest of their remarks. Our meetings are more than just benchmarks. Recently arrived in the BEST network, I can see how meeting my colleagues enriches the knowledge I thought I had of the institutions in which they work. I am happy that Nice, this city of legendary hospitality whose inhabitants are rightly said to open their arms to you and never close them, was able to welcome this wonderful meeting.
