TEXT_The urban design project defines the new layout of the station district made necessary by the arrival of the TVG.
The station is moved in order to accommodate a multimodal hub: urban and regional bus station, TGV, regional trains and future tramway. The reorganisation of the esplanade takes the themes of travel and the sea. 90,000m² of built space (excluding external walls) were constructed (médiathèque, commercial space, offices and apartments). Agence Chavannes realised both the entire esplanade project and the surrounding buildings.
