Home Silk Road is a genuine laboratory to build a new inclusive city

Home Silk Road
Watch the great video from Home Silk Road and see how they will renew the housing approaches by installing vulnerable groups in the heart of the city and demonstrating that they bring social and economic value to their neighbourhood.

In the Autre Soie wasteland, Home Silk Road is a genuine laboratory involving housing, culture and inclusion specialists that will work closely with the inhabitants to build a new inclusive city.
