Master Plan for the Tigre-Maringouins Sector

The area of Tigre-Maringouins in the municipality of Cayenne (French Guiana) offers an exceptional territory for which we have established an ambitious master plan looking ahead to 2050.
It is a “double-sided” territory, because it bears the marks of a site that has suffered the assaults of the city as a result of “servant city” programmes (quarry, dump, military sites, various waste areas) but at the same time, this site offers an exceptional landscape with the Tigre mountain as a significant feature, the fundamental presence of water and its being located at the door of downtown Cayenne. The project developed, which may seem rigid at first glance (framework / programming / structure / …) in fact relies totally on the powerful initial geo-topography of the site and therefore has a great capacity to evolve, to adapt, to enrich and improve itself, both in terms of public spaces and in urban form and planning, without losing sight of the initial goals.
