Can social innovation – guided by the needs of citizens – constitute another way of producing and building the city? Is it inevitable that our society and our cities are Uberized and commodified? Inequalities, diseconomy, pollution, insecurity, urban discrimination: are they insurmountable problems? Are competition and attractivity the only option in metropolitan development? In this talk, Alexandre Grondeau invites us to consider that these outcomes are not inevitable. From the urban regeneration operations in Marseille to the Galeria de Arte Urbana in Lisbon, from the Fablabs to the Freetown of Christiania via the responsive cities, he claims how, at different levels of initiatives, another city is possible. In order to explore options other than current utilitarian and commercial visions for the city and for innovation, Alexandre Grondeau invites us to rethink urban functionality by giving more importance to cities\u2019 cultural, ethical, political, social, historical, and ecological dimensions. He will discuss with Gene Kansas, Atlanta commercial real estate developer and champion of historic preservation, adaptive reuse and community building.<\/p>\n

Alexandre Grondeau<\/strong> holds a PHD in geography, urban planning and development, and is Assistant Professor at the TELEMMe laboratory of Aix-Marseille University.

He works in particular on the conceptualization and definition of altermetropolization by mobilizing the notions of social innovation, commons, responsive city, new right to the city, social and solidarity economy, heterotopia, circular economy, street art, chrono urbanism and slow urbanism…<\/p>\n
