Located in the northwest of Lille, along the Deûle River, Lambersart stands out for the quality of its living environment. Less than 500 meters from the Pont Supérieur metro station, the Bonte sector represents a strategic opportunity for urban development within the Lille metropolitan area. Currently, the site is difficult to access and barely visible. Revealing it to all residents of Lambersart offers a remarkable opportunity to develop a more sustainable, context-sensitive urbanism.
An Exceptional Site to Preserve
We have inherited an urban setting with an outstanding landscape and significant potential for resilience—supporting biodiversity, enhancing urban nature, reducing environmental impact, and renewing quality of life. The challenge is to preserve this site as a green fringe for the surrounding neighborhoods while developing spaces for living and social interaction that encourage community ownership and togetherness.
It is crucial to leverage this exceptional landscape to transform the area from an isolated enclave into a unifying urban space. The brownfield site allows for this dual role: on the one hand, protecting an urban nature zone, and on the other, opening up new possibilities, serving as a transitional state for the site’s future. We are convinced that a sustainable, site-specific urbanism can create the foundations for a shared living environment between future residents and those in nearby neighborhoods.
