My Ideal City, an European Project
SCENARIOS FOR THE EUROPEAN CITY OF THE 3rd MILLENNIUM
International Conference,  Venice, May 12th and 13th 2011

Call for Position Papers

The My Ideal City project has been funded by the European Union, on
the 7th Framework Programme for Culture, to deal with the
representation in an immersive, virtual, environment of the results of
participatory processes involving the citizens of four cities
(Copenhagen, Jerusalem, Lisbon, and Trento). Therefore, the project
involved since the beginning a mixture of reflections on three
dimensional representation, participation, and urban planning, in a
period of time characterized by the contested and controversial
meaning of the city as the central space for innovating the ways human
beings live.
The My Ideal City Conference looks for contributions that will foster
the debate on how it is possible to give shape to the new, ideal,
city, in order to represent it in innovative ways, stimulating new
concepts of the city itself, and to enlarge the
participation of citizens in the construction of the city.
