‘Urban Rhizomes. The Fall of Urban Planning and the Rise of Urbanism’

The third Agora Urban Master Class is facilitated by Jacques Lévy and presents the fall of urban planning and the rise of urbanism.
When we analyse the issues at stake in contemporary urban agency, we can notice a major shift. The technocratic urban planning is showing its fundamental defects while a novel way of coproducing urban space is emerging: urbanism.

Jacques Lévy is Professor of Geography at the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne and winner of the Prix Vautrin-Lud 2018. The conversation will be moderated by Marion Berzin (Brussels Academy).
