Villes en transformation : Defisq (pre)visions, perspectives = Changing cities : Challenges, predictions, perspectives

Abstract

This volume, at the crossroads of themes, disciplines and methodological approaches, jointly questions the hyper-complexity of the transformations of our contemporary cities, the modes of designing, building, living and inhabiting them. The analysis of issues relating to planning, development and governance of cities is accompanied by the definition of hypotheses and scenarios of urban development via theoretical studies, models, projects and good practices. The volume is a continuation of the scientific events organised by the Academic Excellence Center of the New Bulgarian University in collaboration with AUF – Central and Eastern Europe and the French Institute in Bulgaria. It brings together the contributions of 33 authors – researchers, young researchers and practitioners, discussed during the sessions of the First International Conference 'Changing Cities: Challenges, (Pre)Visions, Perspectives', held at the New Bulgarian University in Sofia on October 18–20, 2018.
