Shaping the urban age
Navigating Complexity in a Transforming World
In the face of rapid urbanisation, we must navigate the complexities of city growth, environmental imperatives, and digital transformation. Recognising the unique challenges and opportunities of each urban area, we adopt a multidisciplinary approach that harmonises regional policies, urban strategies, and transportation systems with the digital era, all while valuing the diverse lifestyles and opinions of individuals.
As we stand amidst this evolution, the key is to implement public policies that foster sustainable urban development (SDGs). This means creating cities that are not just economically robust but also environmentally responsible and socially inclusive. By championing green infrastructure, renewable energy, and sustainable mobility, and by engaging communities in the planning process, we can build resilient urban spaces.

A BRETON LEGEND ... IN A TIME OF CLIMATE CHANGE
Ker Iz in Breton, or Cité d'Ys in French, is a mythical city that was built on the coast of Brittany (Bay of Douarnenez) and later swallowed by the ocean. The legend said that Saint Gwenole went to see the king Gradlon and warned him about the sins being committed in the city, absorbed in luxury, debauchery and vanity. God warned Saint Gwenole that he was going to punish the city, and the Saint told the king to flee since God's wrath was about to fall upon the city. The king fled riding his horse. A storm fell upon the city and quickly inundated it. The main culprit was Princess Dahud, the king's indecent daughter, who had stolen the key, symbol of royalty, from around her father's neck.
There's another legend told in a Breton saying, says that when Paris is swallowed, the city of Ys will rise up from under the waves (In Breton, Par Is means "similar to Ys").
