About us

Who are we ?

La Fabrique de la Cité is a French think tank dedicated to urban planning, and urban transitions.

We seek to bring together experts, elected officials and private businesses from diverse backgrounds, to help them understand the economic, social, and ecological challenges of the modern city. At La Fabrique de la Cité, we rely on our steering committee to set our annual program, organize meetings and debates, determine our fields of study, and document our work. Always attentive to French and international innovation, we are attuned to the various dynamics and equilibriums manifested in France. Moreover, at la Fabrique de la Cité, we highlight inspiring initiatives, clarify controversies, and nourish public discourse on new ways to develop cities.
