De la friche industrielle à la friche culturelle : le 6b à Saint-Denis (93)

SUMMARY

Initially a temporary site, the 6b creative project in Saint-Denis has been transformed into a "tiers-lieu" where artists' studios, offices, exhibition rooms, a restaurant, etc. all come together. The site was destined to be transformed into an eco-district, but the developer decided to integrate it into his development project. In eight years, it has become a veritable ecosystem, creating jobs and social links, and enhancing the area's appeal and cultural influence.

Keywords: art, attractiveness, culture, economic development, wasteland, link, influence, urban renewal, resilience, territory, territory with specificity, third places, Saint-Denis, Seine-Saint-Denis, Île-de-France.
