Result of the 2022 Young Planners Awards

Created in 2005, the Palmarès des jeunes urbanistes is a prize awarded every two years which rewards young talents for the exemplary and innovative nature of their approach and their professional practices. It aims to accompany and highlight the rising generations of practitioners, and to support new forms of action in the design and construction of the city and territories.

This year, continuing the approach initiated in 2020, the prize list provides for the winners to organize meetings in situ, in their project territories, with the support of the DGALN, to show their actions and question practices with societal emergencies. and climatic.

This list reflects the diversity of profiles of young urban planning professionals, often made up of teams or collectives. BELVEDERE is distinguished by its commitment to decrypt and mobilize territorial data in the service of decision-making and political action, in different situations and scales. COMMUNE, a team of architects and philosophers, renews the approach to architectural, urban and rural projects through sensitive drawing as a tool for mediation and design. LA TRAVERSE, a young collective, lays the foundations for a "just and radical ecological transition" through its practices of immersion, enhancement of what already exists and involvement of citizens. LES MARNEURS support territories exposed to climate risks, by proposing new forms of adaptation and reconstruction of vulnerable areas.

Belvédère

Belvédère is an urban planning and territorial strategy agency, which works on projects of various scales and themes. Based on a detailed analysis of the available data, it sheds light on the needs and potential in terms of housing, the economy, shops and facilities, by endeavoring to think jointly about programming and strategy. It feeds on upstream forecasts by applying, downstream, to considering the concrete methods of implementing projects and managing urbanized spaces. It thus claims to have a certain tactical urbanism, capable, by the shared choice of a set of objectives and means, of inscribing a project in resonance with a virtuous trajectory of the territories.

The Marners

Les Marneurs is an architecture, landscape and urban planning agency co-founded in 2016 by three partners, architects and landscapers. Based in Paris and Brussels, the agency works on a broad spectrum of projects from architectural project management to prospective urban and territorial studies. The agency works particularly on coastal issues related to the risk of marine submersion and flooding, one of their specialities, by relying on this challenge to bring out new stories and new management or implementation methods. work on projects.

This sharing is the basis of the agency, at the crossroads of research and project, theory and practice. Whatever the nature of the project, architectural project management, urban studies or analysis of rural territories, the agency mobilizes the inhabitants, the users, the "already there" to anchor the proposals in a reality. local practices. Work in residence, and sensitive drawing in the service of the project are claimed as the founding devices of their action, in a logic of communication, mediation, and cross-acculturation.

The crossing

Created in Poitiers in 2019, La Traverse is defined as a support structure for the dynamics of ecological and social transition in the territories. A group of 10 people committed to supporting “resilient” rural territories, it questions both the heart of the practice of urban planning and the ways of working and the resulting economy. Its long-term immersion approach, enhancement of existing initiatives, citizen involvement, training of local actors seeks to lay the foundations for a "just and radical ecological transition" analyzed as necessary and urgent.
