We develop a district living concept specific to your context and support its integration into the building project, then its deployment in the marketing or operating phase with the various players involved.
Through participatory workshops, we support the creation of a residents’ or users’ collective to strengthen neighborhood life and encourage dialogue with the management or owner.
We organize and coordinate awareness-raising initiatives aimed at local residents, providing information on energy, mobility, food and biodiversity.
We advise on and set up various types of social interaction or shared spaces (community halls, teleworking spaces, vegetable gardens, etc.) based on best practices in terms of land, location, number, target audience, layout, governance and management.
We’re setting up neighborhood services (vegetable basket delivery, neighbor-to-neighbor service exchange, bike repair station, etc.) that meet users’ needs and make their daily lives easier.
We deploy solutions adapted to the context and users (neighborhood website, social network between residents, best practice guide, etc.).
We integrate social marketing and nudging tools to reinforce social cohesion and encourage individuals to adopt eco-responsible behaviors.
Neighborhood animation is the organization of social, cultural, recreational, sports or other activities and events that bring people together.
It contributes primarily to strengthening social interaction and conviviality.
It is sometimes coordinated by a specially appointed animator.
Neighborhood activation is a more global and strategic approach that aims to (re)energize a neighborhood by making it more attractive and functional, relying in particular on its users.
The spectrum of intervention is broader, and includes planning, programming, communication, governance, management and animation.
The approach encourages users to take ownership of and invest in their living space, with the support of a neighborhood coach.
An activation process enhances residents’ quality of life and solidarity within the neighborhood.
This positive social impact also facilitates joint ecological initiatives, such as the creation of a shared space, an object exchange system, a pedibus or a communal compost. Finally, activation stimulates local economic exchanges by involving local stakeholders in the process.
The answer depends on a number of parameters: number of buildings, availability of common spaces (exterior and interior), type of housing (rental, condominium, cooperative, other), resident profiles, etc.
Enoki’s current projects range from 80 to 500 units, and our experience confirms that it is perfectly feasible to adjust these figures, both downwards and upwards, if the context so warrants.
