Chicago, June 15 2023<\/strong> \u2013 This summer thirteen students, all currently enrolled at American universities, will travel to Paris for a six-week professional intensive in urban planning and architecture.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The program is designed to inspire a new generation of students committed to promoting innovation and change in urban making, offering a combination of collective experiences (seminars, conferences, and site visits) and individualized internships in preeminent Parisian firms (Chartier\/Dalix, Studio Gang, GRAU, Prost, Institut Paris R\u00e9gion…). Throughout the program participants will also have frequent opportunities to collaborate with French students of architecture and urban design.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Applications for the City\/Cit\u00e9 Cultural and Professional Exchange Program<\/a> were open to students at American universities regardless of their nationality or language proficiency in French. The selected students represent nine American universities in seven states.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Encompassing this professional exchange and numerous other events, grants, and exchanges, City\/Cit\u00e9 is a program by Villa Albertine that uses the arts to facilitate international dialogue on urban issues. Pairing French and American cities, communities, and institutions, it creates space for artists, students, architects, urban planners, community organizers, political leaders, and more to examine urban issues that impact both sides of the Atlantic (and well beyond). This has taken the form of international conferences, creative exhibitions and publications, professional residencies, decentralized cultural cooperation programs, and mobility programs.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt is our true pleasure to welcome this talented cohort of urban thinkers to City\/Cit\u00e9. Over the next five weeks they will engage with some of the most consequential debates and projects in today\u2019s world, and we hope the experience will serve as a launchpad for careers centering impact and global-mindedness,\u201d said Ga\u00ebtan Bruel, Director of Villa Albertine.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The City\/Cit\u00e9 Cultural and Professional Exchange Program is pleased to welcome the following students:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
