Co-Design of Citizen Spaces

The CLIC Bordeaux-Cartierville has newly partnered with Espaces temps to receive support to conceptualize citizen spaces for the future Bordeaux-Cartierville community centre, which will be created in a building that belonged to the Sisters of Providence.

Through a series of consultations, the Bordeaux-Cartierville community described its expectations for this space.

• Community members want access to neutral, free and inclusive spaces that are open year-round, seven days a week.
• They want places where they can meet, talk, relax, and have a coffee.
• They want to use this space without having to take part in planned or structured activities.

This vision has led to exciting design challenges. To create a suitable space, Espaces temps and the CLIC Bordeaux-Cartierville will reflect on the following questions:

• What does the community look like and how will people interact with these spaces?
• What meaning will the community give to these new spaces?
• How can we create spaces for different levels of involvement, from relaxation to active participation?
• How can we make these spaces user-friendly?
