According to Jean-Philippe Pargade and Bruno Vayssière,* the hospital of tomorrow with its connections of partners of ” concern “and high technology could become a major player” essential » of the transformation and attractiveness of peripheral commercial and activity districts.
In his thesis on the fabulous dynamics of the Milanese urban factory in the 16th century, recently republished in paperback, Patrick Boucheron associates the Sforza then the Visconti with three key emblematic installations of this colossal refoundation: the hospital appears there as a peer like the cathedral or castle.
In the future city, which increasingly became that of the peripheries (even Paris is surrounded by a suburb five times more populated), the great ” Shopping malls » now took the symbolic place of castles and cathedrals. Interests of economic and functional reconversions, in turn at the beginning of the crisis after those of the centers, which they often contributed either to impoverish or to “museumize/ameliepoulainize”, they begin to be the subject of intense reflections by public and private actors. , all levels combined.
Available land, often managed by a mixed sector that is more flexible, malleable, scalable, with great freedom of form; residence on ” hyper » day/night synergy of huge modular parking lots on request, all the easier because their condition escapes the rigors of management; new amenities, especially cultural and sports; advanced greening to avoid the heat islands of mineralized downtowns…
GOOD. No complaints. In addition to the absence of a real engine capable of making a city again. That is why we ask you to think about this tomorrow as well, open and welcoming hospitals, unlike the monoliths of the previous generation located further and further from cities, resulting from large state facilities, ex-castles and cathedrals of the Trente Glorieuses.
Let’s imagine the transformation of these places with a new, benevolent perspective. A hospital built around an over-equipped core, with high added value for some subcontractors and startups, a core connected to more or less nearby, even autonomous satellites, such as those for chronic diseases, those for rehabilitation, etc. .
As such, we are now calling for a new convergence of State policy on the revaluation of these peripheral districts through the opportunity for hospitals to find a place that responds to their future requirements (set out below).
They must also become an important tool in this transformation because, upon closer inspection, today’s hospital is steeped in this culture of the periphery. Inside the cities, he is uncomfortable, too limited. On the contrary, in the fields, it suffers from isolation, which takes away much of its attractiveness. Our open and widespread eco-hospital will transform the blackness of the soulless outskirts into green, instilling the heart of tomorrow’s cities.
1) Optimal geography: The 1,800 identified areas surround and concern all our cities down to the smallest towns that remain the furthest away. this” an emerging city » (PUCA from the year 2000) to become fundamental for the reunification of centers and residential areas ad nauseum remains the main attraction today and therefore the true future source.
2) Crossroads of all old and future Mobility: at the same time first destination of public transport (all the main commercial operators like to admit that they are restructuring the networks), heart of services for motorists, close to the centers, with cables parking. very ready to share new features…
3) Energy conversions: from black to green of course, since ” Zwischen Stadt » ideal, a city between natural nature and maximum concentration of urban amenities with all possible energy efficiencies, fruit of new synergies.
4) Sources of most new economies, and supports and terminals of growing virtualities, staging of the most innovative imaginations, places of all possibilities between the private and public sectors through new mixed arbitrations.
5) “Serendipity”: innovations and extraordinary scientific experiments need unexpected encounters and tensions. It is in these areas rich in tangled multi-sequences that everything will happen. The absence of cultural boundaries, forms ossified by administrations, reluctance on square meters… everything contributes to strengthening the bee effect in favor of innovations without obsolete reference traps. The most absolute social mixing is required there, and only there (LGBTQ nightclubs, Hip-Hop, etc.).
6) The only vectors of growth grafted onto what is already there, instilled in all local stakeholders, with a very large amount of land available (admittedly to be renegotiated sometimes patiently!).
7) Maximum flexibility and fluidity at a time when programming uncertainties prohibit us from fixing our structures with rigid programs. Very clever, who can predict correctly education (all chambers of commerce have carried out their training there), maintenance (Doctolib, the main company in France according to Forbes), leisure traffic (between dreams and raves), collisions collusion of tomorrow between local and local. global
