The Micro-city concept bridge PONT9 by Malka Architecture was first published in Le Petit Paris. This architectural concept bridge was created in response to mass production, economic crises and spatial real-estate prices. The PONT9 by Malka Architecture concept bridge is meant to upscale impoverished unused spaces through the use of an 'active system'.
The micro-city will house residences, offices, meeting rooms, art galleries, recording studios, shops, playgrounds, canteens and night clubs. All of the activities will be run by the residents themselves. The structure will consist of a modular system, footbridges and public spaces, all mounted on scaffolding. The PONT9 by Malka Architecture concept bridge is a creative idea of how to reinvent unused real-estate. Creating offices and apartments on this Parisian bridge will be the first of its kind.

Trend Themes
1. Micro-city Concept - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Exploring the potential for creating compact, self-sustainable communities within unused urban spaces.
2. Active System - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing technologies and infrastructure that allow residents to directly manage and operate various activities within a micro-city.
3. Modular Architecture - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing adaptable and scalable structures that can be built on existing bridges or other unused real estate to maximize space utilization.
Industry Implications
1. Real Estate Development - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating the micro-city concept into real estate projects to revitalize underutilized spaces and create mixed-use communities.
2. Construction and Engineering - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Implementing modular architecture and active systems on bridges and other structures, enabling efficient and sustainable development.
3. Urban Planning and Architecture - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Redefining traditional urban planning and architectural approaches by considering the potential of micro-city concepts in transforming unused urban spaces.
