Lecture by Jean Nouvel

The Urban Regeneration postgraduate course, accredited by the Polytechnic University (UPC), allows students to create a social urban project on a real case, from start to finish in 10 weeks.

Based on Enric Miralles’ way of conceiving architecture, his methodology and the EMBT studio’s technique, students specialize in integrated, contemporary and sustainable urban planning. It has been proposed to create different approaches to develop a project in Paris “2017 Grand Paris Clichy-Montferneil Suburbs of Paris” which integrates theoretical and practical aspects of urbanism and creative design.

What should the new cities be like? The global economic crisis has given an unprecedented prominence to emerging countries that have had to change the physiognomy of their cities, if not directly create them. On the other hand, cities such as Paris, Barcelona and Naples are constantly renewing their major historic centers. What should these new cities be like? Does it make sense to build a new New York in China? And what new needs are revealed by the renewal of historic cities?
