TOULOUSE – Cartoucherie eco-district

The dramaturgy and night-time scenography of the new Cartoucherie district are based on its new urban, architectural and landscape qualities, as well as on its functions as a residential, service, cultural (the Zenith) and commercial district. The objective is to develop a new nocturnal concept for the Cartoucherie and to define a real “lighting policy” for the district, through the following challenges:

• Meeting current public lighting needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs
• To contribute to the social and urban cohesion of the district by restoring the integrity of users through appropriate and quality lighting
• Promote comfort and visual amenity and enhance the feeling of safety in the urban space at night
