The Urbanism of Paris: Old and New Traditional Neighbourhoods.
Organised in collaboration with CEU – Council for European Urbanism, Norway.
We will visit some of the most important historic neighbourhoods of Paris, and compare them with two recent developments based on traditional urbanism and architecture:
