IdeasCity Arles public conference will take place Saturday, May 27, 2017, at the Grande Halle, Parc des Ateliers. The conference will feature conversations and lectures by acclaimed speakers including Kunlé Adeyemi, Amale Andraos, Michel Bauwens, Raphaële Bidaut-Waddington, Jean Jalbert, Bouchra Khalili, Rem Koolhaas, Ben Vickers, and Amanda Williams, among others. This event will be free and open to the public and will take place in both French and English with live translation available on site.
Building upon discussions initiated in Detroit and Athens, IdeasCity Arles will address the future city, looking at key forces that shape Arles and the Camargue region today. Working alongside local stakeholders in Arles to investigate the countryside as a place where urban change is accelerating, IdeasCity will develop “scenarios for a City in a Bioregion” through the following themes: City of Culture & Agriculture, Twenty-First-Century Factory Town, City as Campus, UNESCO City 3.0, and Global Village. In the coming years, these themes will be followed up by Atelier LUMA and LUMA Days, a three day-long scenario planning workshop led by LUMA Arles focused on the future of Arles and the Camargue region.
