Shaping the urban age
Urbanization is one of the main trends of our modern world. Metropolization and complexification of cities, growing environmental concerns and the digital transformation of our lives are changing drastically the face of humanity.
Challenges are globally the same but regional and urban contexts are often very different. Each urban initiative needs a multidisciplinary approach to build an holistic vision whatever we are talking about regional or urban policies, digital cities implementation or transportations integration. Furthermore, at each step of the strategy, it is crucial to take into consideration people’s lifestyles and opinions in their diversity, whoever they are, citizens or customers.
Many efficient solutions are already on the market. Accordingly, it is time to lead the transition by devising innovative and impactful public policies, deploying smarter solutions beyond administrative boundaries as well as integrating multimodal transportation services at a larger scale, metropolitan or polycentric urban systems.

I would like to recommend Stéphane Péan without hesitation or reservation. He has extraordinary view of the world that allows him insights into a variety of business problems and situations.
