SUMMARY

Designed in 2015 and first implemented in Chicago and San Francisco, CITY/CITÉ is a transatlantic cooperation and exchange program on urban issues and city making, initiated by Villa Albertine. The 3^rd Chicago edition entitled " Re/Inventing City Planning to Address Contemporary Issues " was a two days of professional conference and visits on the renewal of the urban fabric and territorial planning in both cities.
These two days of meetings and visits with professionals and academics were devoted to the renewal of the urban making and city planning regarding the new environmental, social, and political challenges. The aim was to organize professional dialogues between urban planning actors on both sides of the Atlantic, both in the field of research, public policies, and their concrete implementation (architects, project managers, civil society organizations, engineering firms, etc.) to share methods and practices and to lay the foundations for possible future international collaborations. The first day took place at the Studio Gang and is organized with the University of Illinois at Chicago's Great Cities Institute, the second day was dedicated to on-site visits to different neighborhoods in Chicago.
The dialogue was based on the convergence of the municipal agendas of the cities of Paris and Chicago, which are currently revising their urban plans under the watchwords of resilience, diversity, inclusion, and climate change. This was also an opportunity to revisit Acts of Urbanism, an experimental research initiative supported by the Institut Français, at the intersection of design, urbanism, and the performing arts, which took place in June 2022 in Detroit during a week of public events, workshops, and exchanges between researchers and artists to envision new modalities for urban action.
