Our involvment

We designed and implemented a consultation process with the local residents and stakeholders of Orléans, with the aim of creating new services around two themes: the creation of biodiversity islands in connection with social housing and the integration of unemployed young people. We conducted this consultation using our in-house tool, the "Observations Map". After organising the co-creation workshops, the agency provided a creative overview of the ideas. We proposed two flagship projects: an allotment garden scheme at the foot of buildings and an electric boat rental service on the Orléans Canal.
