What will tomorrow's city look like? What lifestyles and economic models for our city centre? The 10th edition of the Biennale Internationale Design Saint-Étienne 2017 questioned working paradigms, their impact in our daily routines and lifestyles that transform our cities.
To answer to these evolutions, the City of Saint-Étienne and Cité du design proposed to live a unique experience at the scale of the emblematic street "Rue de la République" which was transformed into a true urban reactivation laboratory for one month. Renamed the “Rue de la République du Design”, the event invested in 15 empty local shops and transformed them into: a collaborative supermarket, artistic production workshops, co-working spaces, laboratories for new services for the elder, exhibitions, pop-up stores... The event boosted the image of the street and revalued the potential and attractiveness of creative professions and social innovation.
