The Future DiverCities project is implemented by a consortium of 13 partners led by La Friche La Belle de Mai (Marseille).

The pilots are grouped into three clusters driven by a thematic point of entry which has been identified as the most relevant for each empty space. The three themes reflect positive ecological values of urban empty spaces.
