A sustainable Mediterranean city

The sustainable Mediterranean city of the future is a model that factors in the geographical, climate-related and cultural features of the Mediterranean. It draws on the history of the city, its unique people and innovative ideas that will shape the future. It is sustainable, smart and connected.

The Euroméditerranée Urban Development Agency’s vision is to make the Aix-Marseille-Provence metropolis a model for other cities to follow – across Southern Europe and the Mediterranean Basin.

Digital as a springboard for the port

CMarseille’s major sea port is the convergence point for almost 20,000 km of submarine communications cables heading to Africa and Asia. The port has geography on its side, enjoying a prime location on the already busy and overcrowded northern shore of the Mediterranean. Long known for its petrochemical industry, the port has embraced digital technologies as it competes with its tech-savvy counterparts in Northern Europe, such as Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg. As a so-called “smart port”, it will harness the very latest innovations in logistics, energy, user information, the environment, and safety and security as it lays the groundwork for life in a post-oil world.

Building a thriving community

The Euroméditerranée Urban Development Agency is determined to shape districts that are pleasant places to live, with:

  • New and renovated residential property
  • Local services and public spaces
  • Ambitious sustainability goals.

The operation involves regenerating and revitalising historic parts of the city for the benefit of all residents. Through various built-environment and public-space initiatives, the agency is seeking to make run-down areas better places to live.

in the extension section

The Euroméditerranée Urban Development Agency intends to boost the attractiveness of districts not traditionally considered residential by using everyday architecture with strong quality-of-life appeal. Quality is the watch word for all residents, from urban developments to individual housing units.

Early on, Euroméditerranée embraced sustainable planning and development principles in an effort to strike the right balance between community cohesion, economic growth and the environment.
