Auby renewal of the center starts with two key plots along the water at the entrance of the city. On the south bank, a triangular plot is developed into a mixed social housing with shared gardens, civic and formation center stimulating new professional vocation in a high unemployement area of France. On the North bank, the former headquarter of the local factory is to be transformed into a Youth-center by the municipality, designed with an attractive city park by the water. It holds a skatepark, sports facilities for all and extend the walk along the Deule canal, to be completed for the 2024 Olympic games in Paris.
