Civil Society reclaims public space. Cross perspectives based on research
Brussels, the Royal Library of Belgium, 15 and 16 March 2012.Language: English
This international and interdisciplinary symposium will give a perspective of research being done in Europe and elsewhere. Focus will be on work that observes, describes, assesses, establishes theory and possibly dissem¬inates these initiatives stemming from civil society with the objective of “reclaiming” public space in contemporary cities. The fields of discipline are varied, ranging from urban planning to design, as well as architecture, sociology, anthropology, political science, philosophy and law. The conference is intended for a broad audience (scientists, academics, students, urban planners, local authorities) and will propose presentations and experimental workshops in public spaces. The proceedings of the symposium will be available on line as from May 2012.
Subscription form online soon!
