  VI AISU Congress – Macro-Session II - Numbers

  The conference will focus on the many ways in which the city has been described, narrated, portrayed and quantified in words, numbers and images over the centuries.

Récemment, ce concept a été élargi pour inclure des projets issus d'opérations de régénération de friches urbaines.
