E13 THEME CONTRIBUTIONS

The Adaptable City

Back to list

THE EUROPAN 13 TOPIC CONTINUES WITH THE EUROPAN 12 TOPIC ON "THE ADAPTABLE CITY"
AND ENRICHES ITSELF WITH THE VISIONS OF 40 EUROPEAN EXPERTS…

 

Adaptability is one of the major issues for the future of European cities, maybe one of the most important given the evolution of the urban societies.

Europan invited 40 personalities that are close to Europan –former winning teams, members of previous juries, experts in urban planning, reviewers…– to specify this topic and give it a specific identity for the new Europan session –an identity that takes into account the new design and implementation habits in architecture and urban planning in Europe.

Every personnality was asked what this new session topic would be according to them, and in continuity with the previous session. What are today the innovating strategies of conception that might be ways to develop "adaptation processes of the urban areas" in the European cities? This was the meaning of this call for contributions to better measure the impact of the topic in the practice in Europe.

The Europan Scientific Council analyzed the 40 answers to the call for contributions to determine sub-topic families and produce the definitive E13 topic text. The definitive title for the E13 topic is:

THE ADAPTABLE CITY 2
Self-Organization – Sharing – Project (Proces)
