The river banks in Lyon 1. Problem: during the 20th century traffic and parking slots progressively invaded the river banks. Objective of the project: create an urban park to restore environment, facilitate soft transportation (pedestrian, bicycles) and host leisure activities. 2. Embodiment: City Council appointed private operators (architects etc) to define and realize the project with public funding. 3. Duration: 5 years (2002-2007) 4. Outcome: after some inconvenience during construction, the city landscape completely changed, opening up an easy-access recreation area for all citizens.
