CARE: Cities As creative, crises-Responsive Environments.
Towards a common manifesto of innovative solutions for the contemporary city.
International Symposium
29th – 30th September 2022, Bologna
The international seminar "CARE: Cities As creative, crisis-Responsive Environments" will be held in Bologna on 29 and 30 September 2022, in the Aula Magna of the University Library of Bologna.
Starting from the multiple intersections between crisis and care for the urban environment, “CARE: Cities As creative, crises-Responsive Environments” aspires to collect reflections and contributions on how urban contexts and consolidated cities have demonstrated their creative ability to trace new paths, and their degree of responsiveness to change and unexpected challenges, enacting and inspiring tactics and strategies to face possible future crises.
The explored themes will feature urban transformations, policies, innovative tools and programs, grassroot initiatives, adaptive reuses, historical investigations, unconventional mappings, etc.
The symposium is a follow-up to the international research workshop “How are Cities Reshaped by Crisis? Urban Response to Major Crises from the Black Death to Covid-19”, held at the University of Helsinki in April 2022.
The event is organized by the TRACE research team of the Department of Architecture, University of Bologna within the MIUR - Department of Excellence; in collaboration with FAM Fondazione Alma Mater, the Helsinki Institute of Urban and Regional Studies, University of Helsinki, the University Library of Bologna; under the patronage of SITdA - the Italian Society of Technology of Architecture, the Association of Architects, Planners, Landscape Architects and Conservators of Bologna, the Association of Engineers of the Province of Bologna and the Municipality of Bologna.
