Following a call for expressions of interest launched by the City of Arles, REDMAN has been selected to transform the 6-hectare Minimes brownfield into a model urban district: Mix-Cité.
This ambitious project aims to:
✔️ Reconnect currently disconnected neighborhoods
✔️ Create a large 3-hectare landscaped and food-producing park
✔️ Offer housing accessible to all generations
✔️ Develop an image campus, a media hub, and shared spaces
✔️ Integrate a strong environmental approach: soft mobility, stilt buildings, local energy mix, etc.
Designed as a living lab, Mix-Cité will be built through an open dialogue with residents and local stakeholders starting in 2025, to create a district that reflects the identity of Arles region.
With this project, REDMAN reaffirms its commitment to a low-impact city grounded in local realities.
