Experience and Innovation

Shaping Neighbourhoods: Experience and Innovationis a series of “conference-experiences” intended to entice communities of a neighbourhoodto rediscover urban planning projects that exist there and to engage in conversation about community projects, university research, and the municipal initiatives currently happening.

This series offersa chance to reflect, develop, and construct a neighbourhood that is resilient and tuned in to its citizens. At each meeting, the participants will have the opportunity to visit a noteworthy place in the neighbourhood and converse with local organizations that are working toward rethinking their living environment. University researchers will also be a part of the discussion, relating and comparing their own research to actions taking place locally.


Move

June 4, 2019 | Dendrites Sculpture (5:15 PM- 7:30 PM)

Beauty is a fundamentaldimension of the public space and raisesseveral questions: how do citizens feel and express it? Are these equal to beauty? What's the role of artists, municipalities, organizations, technicians and architects in creating and raising awareness of this beauty? Should it always be preceded by a clear intention, or is urban poetry born more authentically in spontaneity, when the patina of time arises, for example, on a heritage building and turns it into ruin? Is there a link, finally, between innovation and beauty?

Communicate

May 7, 2019 | DARE-DARECentre(5:15 PM- 7:30 PM)

The questions associated with communication are at the heart of urban issues. Development projects within a neighborhood, whether they concern the neighborhood in a global wayor from a micro perspective (specific projects, temporary projects, etc.), necessarily raise the question of communicative dynamics between the different sectors (public,private, associative, citizens, etc.). Beyond a "traditional" approach of the transmission ofinformation from a sourceto a target audience, communication is also conceived in a broader, strictly social sense, engaging a plurality of actors mobilizing different postures. In this way, it brings together points of view, promoting discussion in the public space. In this respect, its upgradingconditions represent a central issue in establishing a democratic framework for citizen participation and ownership.
