To attract the investors for whom they compete in the urban market, cities aim after making themselves desirable for national and global capital seeking locations to increase profitability. Thus, they work to improve their brand image. For this purpose, they value, on the one hand, their singularities, i.e. the present or under development features that distinguish them, and, on the other hand, their conformity to the dominant values of the discourses on the "cities that matter", which means, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, being sustainable, beautiful, festive, patrimonial, festive, innovative or socially mixed. Like Confluence in Lyon, major urban and architectural projects are nowadays precious tools for changing or renovating the image of a city by responding to this dual objective of conformity and singularity.
