As part of the URBiNAT project, TMO (Institute of studies and opinion polls) has been commissioned by Nantes MĂ©tropole to carry out a survey on the quality of life and well-being of the residents in the Nantes Nord district.
The survey had already been carried out in 2019, and it is now a question of studying the changes in connection with the developments and interventions carried out in the district since then.
TMO plans to call the inhabitants between 20 March and 7 April 2023.
Please give them the best possible welcome.

Nantes Healthy Corridor Concept & Urban Plan
Concept et Plan du Healthy Corridor nantais
Nantes Nord is one of the greenest districts of the city of Nantes, located in the northwest of France. Unlike many French or European social housing areas, Nantes Nord is particularly well connected to the city center via a tram line, several bus lines and secondary roads. Though, as the Local Diagnostic underlined, health and socio-economic indicators are worrying, in a district with one of the highest poverty rates of the city.
In Nantes a strategy has been developed as part of a wider plan (Projet Global) that encapsulates the URBiNAT study area. The URBiNAT plan serves to establish a more accurate approach for specific parts of the territory, most of them connected by a path or “green loop”. The idea is to induce a healthier lifestyle among inhabitants by encouraging walking and other outdoor pursuits. Â
This urban project strategy motivated a closer participation process, with the stakeholders being directly involved with urban spaces that they use on a daily basis. Taking into account the local participatory culture, this proximity process has helped to reveal some uses and motivations in a clearer way about more specific matters.

4.2: Healthy Corridor Concept - NANTES
Nantes Nord perimeter is the study area. This corresponds both to the diagnostic and evaluation scale. The intervention area focuses on a reduced area in the North of Nantes Nord, where are the priority districts (QPV), the social housing districts with concentration of difficulties. Located in the north-western part of the city, the âNantes Nordâ district is one of the 11 districts of Nantes municipality. It is itself subdivided in 9 micro-districts.

Nantes Nord est l’un des quartiers les plus verts de la ville de Nantes, situĂ©e dans le nord-ouest de la France. Contrairement Ă de nombreux quartiers d’habitat social français ou europĂ©ens, Nantes Nord est particuliĂšrement bien reliĂ© au centre-ville par une ligne de tramway, plusieurs lignes de bus et des routes secondaires. Cependant, comme l’a soulignĂ© le diagnostic local, les indicateurs sanitaires et socio-Ă©conomiques sont prĂ©occupants, dans un quartier oĂč le taux de pauvretĂ© est l’un des plus Ă©levĂ©s de la ville.
Ă Nantes, la stratĂ©gie a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©veloppĂ©e selon un plan plus large (Le Projet Global) qui comprend la zone d’Ă©tude d’URBiNAT. En ce sens, le nouveau projet urbain a servi Ă Ă©tablir une approche plus prĂ©cise pour des parties spĂ©cifiques du territoire, la plupart d’entre elles Ă©tant reliĂ©es par un chemin sous le nom de boucle verte, qui tente d’inciter les habitants Ă marcher et, par consĂ©quent, Ă adopter des comportements plus sains.
Cette stratĂ©gie de projet urbain a motivĂ© un processus de participation plus Ă©troit, les parties prenantes Ă©tant directement impliquĂ©es dans des espaces urbains qu’elles connaissent bien. Compte tenu du processus de participation dĂ©jĂ dĂ©veloppĂ© pour le Projet Global, ce processus de proximitĂ© a permis de rĂ©vĂ©ler certains usages et motivations de maniĂšre plus claire sur des sujets plus spĂ©cifiques.

INTERVENTION AREA: Nantes Nord
ZONE D'INTERVENTION : Nantes Nord
The study area selected for Urbinat focuses on âNantes Nordâ, a district situated to the north of the Nantes municipality. It is particularly heterogeneous in its socio-demographic characteristics and in the representation of different ways of “living”. It comprises several priority districts, residential districts that are gentrifying over time of population renewal, a campus.
Nantes Nord is the district with the highest concentration of social housing with 37% of tenants in social housing. Three of its nine micro district, concentrate socio-economic, security, and health challenges challenge. It is a district characterised by a high poverty rate, high unemployment, single-parent family, and health issues. Inhabitants also share their increasing sense of insecurity. As for several multi-ethnic districts in France, Nantes has been the theatre of urban violence that has been covered by the press. The district is also subject to drug dealing.
But…With nearly 62 mÂČ of green space per inhabitant, the district Nantes Nord is often presented as the greenest district of the City of Nantes. There are many spaces for walking, conviviality spaces which benefits to the inhabitants: playgrounds, wading pools, 670community gardens, squares of proximity are scattered on the whole of the territory. The presence of the Erdre river as well as the Cens river, strengthen the environmental quality of the district. Nevertheless, this green wealth is not always known or/and appropriated by the citizens.
La zone d’Ă©tude sĂ©lectionnĂ©e pour Urbinat se concentre sur “Nantes Nord”, un quartier situĂ© au nord de la municipalitĂ© de Nantes. Il est particuliĂšrement hĂ©tĂ©rogĂšne dans ses caractĂ©ristiques sociodĂ©mographiques et dans la reprĂ©sentation des diffĂ©rents modes de “vie”. Il comprend plusieurs quartiers prioritaires, des quartiers rĂ©sidentiels qui se gentrifient au fil du renouvellement de la population, un campus.
Nantes Nord est le quartier qui prĂ©sente la plus forte concentration de logements sociaux avec 37% de locataires dans les logements sociaux. Trois de ses neuf microquartiers, concentrent des enjeux socio-Ă©conomiques, sĂ©curitaires et sanitaires. C’est un quartier caractĂ©risĂ© par un taux de pauvretĂ© Ă©levĂ©, un chĂŽmage important, des familles monoparentales et des problĂšmes de santĂ©. Les habitants partagent Ă©galement leur sentiment croissant d’insĂ©curitĂ©. Comme plusieurs quartiers multiethniques en France, Nantes a Ă©tĂ© le thĂ©Ăątre de violences urbaines qui ont Ă©tĂ© couvertes par la presse. Le quartier est Ă©galement sujet au trafic de drogue.
Mais…Avec prĂšs de 62 mÂČ d’espaces verts par habitant, le quartier Nantes Nord est souvent prĂ©sentĂ© comme le quartier le plus vert de la ville de Nantes. Les espaces de promenade sont nombreux, des espaces de convivialitĂ© qui profitent aux habitants : aires de jeux, pataugeoires, 670 jardins collectifs, places de proximitĂ© sont dissĂ©minĂ©s sur l’ensemble du territoire. La prĂ©sence de l’Erdre ainsi que de la Cens, renforce la qualitĂ© environnementale du quartier. NĂ©anmoins, cette richesse verte n’est pas toujours connue et/ou appropriĂ©e par les citoyens.

Citizen Engagement & Co-Creation
Engagement citoyenne et co-création
The URBiNAT project aims to involve local citizens in groups of volunteers to create together a Healthy Corridor for the district of Nantes Nord. How can we create together in the public space solutions that improve the quality of life of citizens? What solutions can be inspired and taught by Nature? What can we share our experiences and experiences?
Nantes has over 50 shared gardens, including 26 allotment garden sites and 24 community gardens. 35 associations run and manage them with the support of the city’s Green Spaces and Environment Department. With URBiNAT residents will have the opportunity to actively participate in the co-selection, co-design and co-creation of Nature-Based Solutions and the creation of a Healthy Corridor for their neighbourhood .
Le projet URBiNAT vise Ă impliquer les citoyens locaux dans des groupes de volontaires afin de crĂ©er ensemble un Corridor de santĂ© pour le district de Nantes Nord. Comment crĂ©er ensemble dans l’espace public des solutions qui amĂ©liorent la qualitĂ© de vie des citoyens ? Quelles solutions peuvent ĂȘtre inspirĂ©es et enseignĂ©es par la nature ? Que pouvons-nous partager nos expĂ©riences et nos savoir-faire ?
Nantes compte plus de 50 jardins partagĂ©s, dont 26 sites de jardins familiaux et 24 jardins communautaires. 35 associations les animent et les gĂšrent avec le soutien de la Direction des espaces verts et de l’environnement de la ville. Avec URBiNAT, les habitants auront la possibilitĂ© de participer activement Ă la co-sĂ©lection, la co-conception et la co-crĂ©ation de solutions basĂ©es sur la nature et Ă la crĂ©ation d’un corridor sain pour leur quartier.
The Social and Solidarity Economy is very much at the heart of plans to co-create a Healthy Corridor in the district of Nantes Nord and realise the full social, environmental and economic potential of the NBS that are being implemented.
Urban gardening becomes more and more important. In May, stakeholders gathered at the community center of the Healthy Corridor in Nantes Nord to discuss this topic.
L’Ă©conomie sociale et solidaire est au cĆur du projet de co-crĂ©ation d’un corridor de santĂ© (Healthy Corridor) dans le quartier de Nantes Nord afin de rĂ©aliser le potentiel social, environnemental et Ă©conomique des solutions inspirĂ©es de la nature (NBS) en cours de mise en Ćuvre.
Le jardinage urbain devient de plus en plus important. En mai, les parties prenantes se sont réunies au centre communautaire du Healthy Corridor de Nantes Nord pour discuter de ce sujet.

D2.1: Local Diagnostic Report for each Frontrunner City
This report describes the variables explored in the first and second stage of the Local Diagnostic. In the first stage, it is requested that the cities provide secondary information of use to framing their specific relevant conditions. Such information will be helpful for further identifying the location and wider context for the implementation of healthy corridors, with the prospect of enabling real improvement of the quality of life for citizens.
Milestone 2: URBiNAT Living Labs & Community of Practice RESTRICTED
Milestone 2 consists on the establishment of âLiving labs with its CoP (Community of Practice) in 7 cities (frontrunners and followers cities) and in the non-European cities to start coaching and sharing, in order to develop the participatory process and the urban planning" (Grant Agreement). With this document it is possible to state that all URBiNAT cities have successfully established their Living Labs, even though in different stages of development (as expected). The document sets the key point of achievement of Milestone 2, by compiling and sharing the state of the art on the establishment of the Living Labs and CoP in Front-runner, Follower and Observer cities.

[Conference Paper] Les Solutions Basées sur la Nature: Une Stratégie d'Adaptation aux Changements Globaux
ABSTRACT: Les effets du changement climatique en Afrique subsaharienne commencent Ă ĂȘtre bien connus, en lien avec la hausse des tempĂ©ratures et la modification des prĂ©cipitations. Ils touchent de nombreux secteurs vitaux tels que lâalimentation, lâeau, la santĂ©. En parallĂšle, lâurbanisation croissante passĂ©e et future, Ă lâĂ©chelle mondiale et africaine, peut accentuer certains de ces effets en milieu urbain, en lien avec la gestion de lâeau et le confort thermique, entre autres. A lâĂ©chelle europĂ©enne, les solutions fondĂ©es sur la nature sont proposĂ©es comme stratĂ©gie dâadaptation, dans les villes. Elles permettent en effet dâamĂ©liorer la gestion des eaux pluviales urbaines et le confort thermique. Elles ont dâautres bĂ©nĂ©fices comme la santĂ©, la cohĂ©sion sociale, la sĂ©curitĂ©, etc. Au travers de trois projets français (VegDUD) et europĂ©ens (Nature4Cities, URBiNAT), les connaissances derniĂšrement acquises sur les performances de diffĂ©rentes solutions fondĂ©es sur la nature (toitures vĂ©gĂ©talisĂ©es, noues, arbres de rue, façades vĂ©gĂ©talisĂ©es, parcs) vis-Ă -vis des deux enjeux gestion de lâeau et confort thermique en ville sont prĂ©sentĂ©es.
