Your summer in the Metropolis! - Proposals - Mapping

Summer has particularities compared to other seasons: long days, closure of services, increase in temperatures, increase in free time. Other uses take place (organization of free time, work, living in public spaces, etc.) and make summer a time marker. Summer is also an indicator of inequalities in access to leisure and holidays. The challenge is to take this particular time into account by articulating all public policies:culture, sport, mobility, urban planning, etc. Indeed, the European Metropolis of Lille has adopted a metropolitan strategy in terms of time policy, implemented by the Time Office. Conducting a temporal policy means contributing to improving the articulation of citizens' living times (social, professional, leisure, study, etc.) by setting up actions to structure the rhythms of the territory (shifting of working hours, concierge services, opening hours of administrations, etc.). The organization of annual events are planned to sensitize elected officials, agents, actors of the territory and the general public to temporal issues and thus advance the consideration of this variable in metropolitan projects. The next highlight will be the summer, on December 3, 2019.
