Reuse the urban structure, the buildings, in an innovative architectural programming founded on the “creative classes”, the arts, culture, teaching, and the overall environmental process in order to offer a mosaic of solutions adaptable to lifestyles, to “societies in movement”; compose the site and make it a place of destination.

In becoming the Domaine Métropolitain de la Coopération et de la Création, DMC will retrieve its place in space and time and again become a point of intensity on the scale of the conurbation, while conserving its sense of proximity, which it needs to reinvent.

This site is truly a place conducive to a new experiment with the urban project. DMC will become the trigger for a new way of living in the Mulhouse metropolitan area.

Strategic accompaniment of the conversion of the DMC site
- Definition of an economic and communication strategy on the site: tools, procedures for encouraging emergence of projects corresponding to the economic strategy, accompaniment of project originators. This strategy will be backed by an analysis of the economic and real-estate market in Mulhouse and in the Trinational Metropolitan Region.
- Development of the programme;
- Production of the reference development plan: including the programme plan (location of the functions both between the buildings and the internal organisation of the buildings in keeping with technical constraints, targets and the needs of the present project originators), the plan of the exterior spaces (making use of the reopening of the Steinbächlein) and the mobility plan (including access, connections and parking);
- Financial evaluation of investments (figures established on a quantitative and ratio basis) to be provided by M2A (Mulhouse Alsace Agglomération) and the various public actors.
