- raise public awareness of territorial issues,
- encourage the mobilization and participation of diverse audiences,
- gather residents' proposals on topics such as urban planning, housing, mobility, infrastructure, economic development, the environment, and natural spaces,
- mobilize the territory around an ambitious project for social, ecological, and economic transition, linked to all the aforementioned themes,
- identify the necessary behavioral changes and triggers for citizens to achieve the established objectives.
