ExhibitionEmpathiCITY,
Making our City together

Cité du design - Bâtiments H


Designers sometimes fulfill the role of mediators between citizens, communities and governments. What should be done for their ideas to lead to transformations on a human level, rather than just for buildings? How can we give communities a sense of responsibility through collaborative processes, and combine design, social engineering and technology to make a city better connected ?

EmpathiCITY consists of a project based on the activation of the UNESCO network of the eleven Creative Cities of Design. The exhibition begins with an urban problem which is specific to each city and focuses on transversal questions (public spaces, health, sustainable development), in order to help change uses and behavior. The members of the Creative Cities of Design network participate by sharing best uses with other cities during a symposium. The cities can present either a collaboration between designers and the urban community on a recent project; or elaborate a project inspired by the "expoTENtial" trans-disciplinary platform developed in New York by Lætitia Wolff.
