However, his program was unclear. Despite being distributed in Bordeaux mailboxes, it was published as a book in early March. “A balance sheet and a project for Bordeaux” in which the architect asserts his desire for administrative simplification, “which is nonetheless allowed by the NOTRe law.” But who still needs “overall governance” according to him “maintains an imbalance between metropolises, their urban sprawl, and territories that are partially deserted.”
A project for Bordeaux
AMIE, this expanded integrated metropolitan area, Michel Pétuaud-Létang intends to make it a matter of reflection in this political sequence. Convinced that it can contribute to everyone’s well-being by embracing all the daily skills such as “mobility, housing, equal distribution of territories, and ecology.”
Revisiting and explaining some of his most emblematic architectural projects, whether carried out or abandoned, “due to lack of political will,” Michel Pétuaud-Létang declares that he wants to “leave a legacy to the politics of tomorrow” with this new publication. He claims to be “keen to work with all candidates,” convinced that “mayors are the most important political figures for citizens.” To candidates who doubt his intentions, he assures them: “This is not a project against you, but a project for Bordeaux.”
