| Description of the project | 5Ponts tackles urban poverty in 5 main dimensions: jobs, housing, health, inclusion, and empowerment through involvement. It experiments an innovative way to tackle the interconnectedness of the major factors of urban poverty, and to break the circle of social and spatial polarization by:
– Promoting an innovative approach of support and conceiving the project from the ground: based on the users’ choice model and their empowerment through an active involvement to define the needed services. – Creating an innovative social urban equipment: a building operating as a One-stop Shop interconnecting different social groups, providing work opportunities (through a neighborhood restaurant, a collective urban farm, a solidarity store), as well as solidarity-based housing, low threshold health care, and a high level of integration of tailored social services opened 24/24 and 7/7. – Locating the social equipment at the heart of a new central multifunctional district, already including health clusters, social solidarity businesses, private and social housing. – Opening the project to the people living/working in the area, through neighborhood dialogue and involvement of civil society. A key element of the project is that before the delivery of the building, 5Bridges will implement small scale labs to test and optimize the different designed answers that will be integrated in this social urban equipment, first of this kind in Europe. |
