New local services in rural areas with La Poste
Faced with a rapidly changing society and declining mail volumes, the French Post Office (La Poste), is initiating a reflection on the transformation of postal agencies or post offices in rural areas through its Pays de la Loire delegation. The City Design Lab was asked to think about a design method for general interest and proximity services. Four towns in the Pays de la Loire region were the pilots of this method: Saint Mars-du-Désert, Rouans, Erdre-en-Anjou and Brûlon.
"
We had to think about both the modalities of co-construction with the inhabitants, the explicit formulation of the approach, and its implementation.

"Après une étude des fonctions attendues, des usages réels et des interactions souhaitables, la proposition spatiale a intégré plusieurs recommandations sur le parcours, les équipements extérieurs, la signalétique et la communication, la gouvernance partagée et ses outils. Le vrai défi de ce projet n’était pas la viabilité technique mais la viabilité sociale." explique Mikael Le Tohic
