Introduction – Boston Seminar

Read the document

Cécile Maisonneuve, Chairman of La Fabrique de la Cité, welcomes the participants of La Fabrique de la Cité’s 2016 International Seminar to Boston, and presents the main societal, economic, and environmental issues the city is now confronted with. Fast population growth, climate change, and infrastructure decay have forced Boston to become a pioneer of urban innovation. How does Boston illustrate these emerging urban trends? Experts, city officials, and academics debate this question during our International Seminar. (Only available in French)
