Grenoble -- a renowned city filled with a young, attractive, and international crowd, and life is good. However, in some respects it has stalled and lacks the energy to remobilize. This book provides a vision of a city of contrasts from the all-powerful trinity of science , research, and industry, to sport, education, culture, and foreign diasporas. The aim of the book is to help the city's inhabitants to better understand their city, how it was built, where it goes, where it can go, and to reflect on their own future that could include education and training as the heart of city policy.
