Building Beyond – How to build the city of tomorrow?
The Building Beyond festival also allowed La Fabrique de la Cité to share the main teachings born of its events. The festival’s audience was able to tune into La Fabrique de la Cité’s international seminar, which took place in Vienna from 3-5 July 2018, and to experience a live broadcast of the seminar’s inaugural lecture by Pr. Viktor Mayer-Schönberger (Oxford Internet Institute) regarding the potential of data in the resolution of urban issues. This broadcast was followed, in Paris, by a debate between Charles Népote (La FING) and Jacques Priol (CEO, Civitéo) on the obstacles currently preventing cities from unlocking the potential of urban data. During a second event dedicated to the conclusions born of La Fabrique de la Cité’s international seminar, Marissa Plouin (Coordinator, OECD) focused on the determinants of urban quality of life and on the ways in which a quality of life policy can come alive in a city.
During six weeks of open, free events, La Fabrique de la Cité also explored the imaginary of cities conveyed by cinema. In a cycle of three screenings, Ollivier Pourriol, creator of Ciné Philo, invoked the power of images to invite us to take a different look at cities. From the elemental city, which Man has managed to tame, to the underground city, terra incognita in essence, the city is a scene that intrigues and fascinates many filmmakers.
