Lyon Confluence, health at the heart of the city

Lyon / France

Developed by Linkcity, Bouygues Construction’s property development subsidiary
Planner: SPL Lyon Confluence

The health crisis has highlighted the need to address the relationship between cities and health in a more comprehensive way. The Eureka Confluence consortium, which includes Linkcity and Bouygues Energies & Services, takes an innovative approach to urban development, favouring health and wellness at a local level, by reducing exposure to pollutants and noise, promoting healthy living and making it easier to access care and social and health services. The “wellness island” comprises a health and prevention facility, demonstrating a new experience of city medical care, offices that encourage wellness at work and increase employees’ productivity, and mixed housing. In the centre of the island is a green oasis that respects biodiversity, designed as a “therapy garden” to gently incentivise people to exercise, relax or meditate.

“Setting up a healthcare structure or a scientific committee as part of a construction or renovation project, involving scientists, healthcare and public health experts in a consultative process as early as possible allows health challenges and concerns to be identified and prioritised in the neighbourhood or region where the project is located, project-appropriate actions to be defined, and the project’s impact on public health to be measured and monitored as part of an evaluation process.”
