Every year, our awards recognise cities whose outstanding achievements in the delivery of local activities and practices have improved citizens' quality of life, in the context of the theme of the annual conference. This year, our theme is 'cities at a crossroads' and we looked for innovative ideas implemented in response to the changing landscapes in our cities. Rennes repurposed a city-centre university building as an imaginative and inclusive 'hotel for projects' that welcomes innovative social and artistic grassroots initiatives. Flexibility and adaptability are key elements in the renovation of the building, the cooperative governance model and the activities embraced, with the main spaces of the building remaining undefined to allow for different projects' needs.
