#29 Marseille

A
Working time, health and parenting

Personalized adaptation of working time is gaining ground in communities; still modest, the experiments are rather positive.

B
Port and industrial challenges of decarbonization

The decarbonization of the economy is at stake in metropolises, in close cooperation between public authorities, industry and research & development.


To respond to growing demands for individualization of working time and to advance gender equality, our organizations are required to review working conditions and open new rights to their agents. These aspirations force us to find new equilibriums, in order to give more flexibility to our organizational methods without losing efficiency. Our meeting allowed us to discuss the experiments that are being carried out, in particular those relating to the 4-day week, which can constitute an element of response to this request for flexibility. Their generalization, however, raises legitimate questions; it must be carefully studied and accompanied.

The visit to the western basin of the Port of Marseille-Fos illustrated the second subject of our meeting: the decarbonization of industry. We were able to assess the scale of the industrial changes underway and the challenges they pose for manufacturers, communities and residents. This transformation is at the crossroads of all issues, the fight against global warming, sovereignty, innovation, job creation. Our discussions highlighted the role that metropolises can play in supporting these industrial projects and promoting innovation and the development of low-carbon technologies.

This visit also wanted to convey the scale of this polycentric metropolis that Aix-Marseille-Provence is. I will be delighted to welcome you again to help you discover another side of this territory.

Domnin Rauscher, Chief Executive of Aix-Marseille-Provence Métropole
