DOMAINE PUBLIC: Collaborative Public Space Design

Stéphane Cagnot

Director at DEDALE | Urban and social innovation

Paris, France

About

Through citizen-driven signage, co-designed street furniture and collective placemaking interventions, Dédale develops collaborative approaches to public space design that strengthen local identity, social inclusion, visibility of local actors and shared ownership of urban environments.

Combining urban design, participation, cultural activation and everyday uses, Domaine Public explores how public spaces can become more welcoming, adaptable, sustainable and collectively inhabited. The programme develops and tests practical solutions that encourage citizens to play an active role in shaping their neighbourhoods and improving their quality of life.

Developed through projects such as Mob Up, the Rosa Parks associative signage programme, Urban Folies and the tactical urbanism prefiguration of the future redevelopment of Place du Panthéon in Paris, the initiative combines public space activation, temporary uses, nature-based approaches and community engagement.

Rooted in Living Lab methodologies and real-life experimentation, Domaine Public contributes to the New European Bauhaus objectives by connecting ecological transition, aesthetics and civic engagement at neighbourhood scale.
