Living Lab Paris

In one of Europe’s most densely populated metropolises, we move beyond theory by directly engaging middle school students to test the 15-minute city concept. Through hands-on co-creation workshops, we align flagship projects like the „Rue aux écoles“ (streets to schools) with the actual needs and safety concerns of the youth. This direct interaction ensures that Parisian mobility policies empower adolescents to move independently and confidently throughout their city.

The Paris Living Lab is facilitated by the CAUE de Paris and the INTERACT team from Télécom Paris.
