These two days of meetings and visits with professionals and academics are devoted to the renewal of the urban making and city planning regarding the new environmental, social, and political challenges …. The aim is to organize professional dialogues between urban planning actors on both sides of the Atlantic, both in the field of research, public policies, and their concrete implementation (architects, project managers, civil society organizations, engineering firms, etc.) to share methods and practices and to lay the foundations for possible future international collaborations. The first day takes place at the Studio Gang and is organized with the University of Illinois at Chicago\u2019s Great Cities Institute, the second day is dedicated to on-site visits to different neighborhoods in Chicago.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n
The dialogue is based on the convergence of the municipal agendas of the cities of Paris and Chicago, which are currently revising their urban plans under the watchwords of resilience, diversity, inclusion, and climate change. This is also an opportunity to revisit Acts of Urbanism, an experimental research initiative supported by the Institut Fran\u00e7ais, at the intersection of design, urbanism, and the performing arts, which took place in June 2022 in Detroit during a week of public events, workshops, and exchanges between researchers and artists to envision new modalities for urban action.\u00a0<\/p>\n
