IMM Chair
This AMUP-ENSAS/CAUP-Tongji seminar is the first joint research event organized after the forced break induced by the covid 19 pandemic. It is the occasion to renew and reinforce the academic exchange between the professors and researchers of our two institutions. Focused on infrastructural transition issues, the seminar proposes an intercultural confrontation of points of view and approaches illustrated by the latest research work produced within our institutions in the last years. The infrastructural question, seen through the critical lens of planetary livability (environmental concerns, climate change issues, sustainability/resilience goals, etc.) invites a large interpretation. The responses range from points of view on more conventional mobility systems, to biodiversity and living ecosystems, to new lifestyles and societal values influencing our relationship to resources and their infrastructural organization. Ultimately, the seminar aims to seize the infrastructural transition at work in Europe and in China, while also discussing the cultural values of the transition project.
