living streetsdynamic cities

Serendipity? or confluence?

This one looks good. It's a conference staged by Ateneo's Cultural Heritage Studies Program and FEU's Center for Studies on the Urban Environment, sponsored by the Spanish Program for Cultural Cooperation and Instituto Cervantes.

March 16-17 (that's tomorrow!) at the FEU Campus.

"The Conference aims:

1. To call attention to the Street as a a basic focus of concern in any project of urban revitalization;
2. To articulate the complexity of issues surrounding street regeneration;
3. To highlight the connection between built heritage and street regeneration; and
4. To emphasize the catalytic role of urban universities in the regeneration of cities."

And if you want an instant replay: here's what I recently had to say about our streets:

1. Streets not roads
2. Measure for measure
3. Streets as green infrastructure
