Angèle de Lamberterie

Director of Development at Plateau Urbain I France

Urban blight and underused properties are becoming a thing of the past in Paris, thanks to Angèle de Lamberterie. The Director of Development at Plateau Urbain knows a thing or two about revitalising districts through temporary use projects. Making the most of a former factory or office block, Angèle is breathing life back into abandoned buildings with cultural events, art, and space for social causes. Got an old hospital going spare? She’ll ensure it’s put to good use, possibly as housing or emergency accommodation to homeless people, or affordable workplaces for the solidarity economy. Unconventional, experimental, impactful – finding ways to reuse buildings, counteract urban sprawl, and develop alternative business models has never been more fun!
