The ATE laboratory, in partnership with the FilSeine Foundation and the Union pour l'Habitat Social de Normandie, is organizing an international symposium on September 14 and 15, 2023 at ENSA Normandie: "Territoires en transition. Habitat, aging and living spaces ".
The symposium focuses on the evolution of architectural and urban forms, as well as spatial design practices, in the face of the challenges of demographic ageing. The increase in the proportion of people over 60 or in old age, as well as the unprecedented ageing of the working-age population, lead us to question the effects of the baby boom and the generational tensions running through the production of housing and public policies in the field of urban and regional planning. We need to take into account the renewal of actor systems, norms and the different ways in which residents appropriate space. What major changes is the demographic transition bringing about in the quality of life of urban and rural populations, with what implications for the built and developed environment, its design and uses?
The colloquium will contribute to scientific and public debate through 13 original papers and 2 round tables grouped into 4 thematic sessions.
The round tables will bring together elected representatives, social landlords and associations.
A public lecture entitled "Du chez-soi au chez-nous : des villes à l'épreuve de l'âge " will be given on Thursday September 14 by Meriem CHABANI, Architecte-Urbaniste, agence New South, Associate Lecturer, ENSA Paris Malaquais and RCA London I Guest Lecturer, HEAD Geneva .
The conference is open to all, free of charge, without registration. No remote transmission is planned.
