Bringing shared spaces to life through a participatory approach

In May 2022, a new piece of city emerged on the Route du Pavement in Lausanne. With its ~220 residents, the project led by the SCHL aims to create social links between residents, an essential element in creating good living together, facilitating daily life and bringing about greater sustainability.

To this end, the district offers a number of indoor and outdoor communal spaces. But what exactly can you do there, with whom and how?

To answer these questions and color the neighborhood in the image of its residents, Enoki is currently carrying out a process of activating common spaces called “Fais vivre ton quartier! Fais vivre ton quartier! “.

As a first step, Enoki organized three participatory meetings to :

  • bring together residents’ ideas and needs
  • choosing neighborhood projects that benefit everyone
  • define a roadmap for each selected project

The second phase of activation consists in supporting the implementation of projects and ensuring their sustainability.

The aim of this approach is to enable residents to become active players in their neighborhood, and to ensure that communal spaces function properly, so that they become true places of life and exchange for the neighborhood.
