Cairo
Hyper-density and strategy planning in world cities
What future for Greater Cairo?
In partnership with NVIC-Netherlands-Flemish Institute in Cairo and with the support of Cultures France (“Fonds D’Alembert 2010”), the idea of the workshop organized at CEDEJ (MAEE / CNRS) - Cairo is to work on the issue of hyper-densities in the metropolitan context and exchange between researchers, experts and decision makers, taking in account that the trend is an increasing growth and urbanization of the planet, especially in the capitals of developing countries. The objective will be linked on how to plan and organize the metropolitan urban contexts of hyper-density. As such, the case of Cairo will be the focus of attention in connection with the strategy "Greater Cairo 2050” developed by the Egyptian authorities and put in perspective with metropolises of North and South. -

Workshop on Palestinian Refugee Camps in Jordan
A Lasting Temporariness: Population, Space and Social Practices, 1990-2010
This one day workshop will focus on the social and spatial organization of the camps, the social practices of their inhabitants, and the influences, interpretations and effects of what we call a lasting temporariness on the Palestinian refugee camps in Jordan. Due to their significance and status, the camps represent key social spaces for exploring patterns of interaction between different religious groups and national minorities, for examining governance, for studying development and planning issues (infrastructure and services), for mapping the constitution of territories and identities, and for analyzing the development of an intricate network of economic and political connections inside and outside of their spaces. -

Dnipropetrovs'k
Approaches to post-Soviet transformations
Summer school in Dnipropetrovsk (Ukraine)
Two decades after the collapse of the USSR, evolutionary paths travelled by post-Soviet societies are spectacularly diverse - posing analytical challenges for social scientists. In the first post-Soviet years, these societies were expected to “Westernize” and so social transformations were supposedly transitional. Later, it became obvious that genuine evolution observed in the former USSR needed genuine analytical tools. Dramatic change exhibiting a strange (at times conflict-ridden) coexistence of transformation and continuity neither elicits comparison to “normal” social evolution, nor can it be explained as a chaotic or un-analysable specificity. The aim of the summer school is to discuss different approaches / concepts used to analyse post-Soviet transformations and to question their heuristic effectiveness. The Summer School is designed to be interdisciplinary and international. -

Urban planning studies: spaces and social uses of urban knowledge
Géocarrefour journal (issue n°85)
Les études d’urbanisme ont ceci d’étonnant que leur multiplicité et les apparentes évidences sur lesquelles elles reposent les rendent comme invisibles aux yeux des observateurs des politiques urbaines. En amont de démarches de planification ou d’opérations d’aménagement de toutes sortes, les études abondent, leurs formes et appellations sont multiples. Les producteurs d’études sont tout aussi divers : collectivités, services de l’État, organismes publics ou privés dont l’étude est la raison d’être, mais aussi associations ou, parfois, particuliers. La diversification du « marché des études » d’urbanisme contraste avec le relatif silence qui entoure pourtant le monde des études dans la communauté scientifique. Le présent appel à contributions pour la revue Géocarrefour entend justement susciter une réflexion pluridisciplinaire sur ce point souvent peu considéré par la recherche récente sur l’urbanisme et l’aménagement des villes. -

Berlin
Ottoman Urban Studies Seminar (2009-2010)
Post-Ottoman Cities
What is the historical experience of cities in the former territories of the Ottoman Empire - in the Balkans, Anatolia, the Middle East, and North Africa - in dealing with the impact of global changes and the transformation from Empire to nation States? How did people of different cultural, social and religious backgrounds live together? How are such examples of conviviality, conflict, migration, and urban regimes of governance and stratification conceptualized? And how have urban traditions been reinterpreted, and what bearing does this have on modern conceptions of civil society, multicultural societies, migration, or cosmopolitanism. These and other questions will be addressed in this year’s Seminar in Ottoman Urban Studies. Séminaire organisé par Ulrike Freitag et Nora Lafi. -
