MVRDV主持设计了法国波尔多市Bastide-Niel 新区的总体规划，改造更新区域内近35 公顷的军营和铁路车场，这是一次前所未有的大规模城市更新计划，也是为欧洲城市化做出贡献的宝贵机会。MVRDV的规划方案回应了如何在传统欧洲城市中打造活力社区的议题，同时也是对老城社区开发的一次升级：历史的传承、混合的功能、亲和的尺度、明亮、绿色和高密度。

MVRDV's masterplan proposal to transform 35ha of former barracks and railyards in the centre of Bordeaux is an unprecedented opportunity to contribute to European urbanism. The design answers the question of how to create a vibrant neighbourhood that is in the tradition of the European city, but at the same time an update of it: historic, mixed and intimate, light, green, and dense.
