🌊🌊 ORGANIC CITIES is back 🌊🌊 21 months after a fantastic first edition, we’re thrilled to announce that the 2nd edition of the international #ORGANIC_CITIES conference will take place on 📅  September 18 and 19, 2025, 📍 at Sciences Po Rennes, FRANCE. We are delighted to invite you once again to an intense moment of collective reflection, organized by Villes Vivantes, Sciences Po Rennes, and the OFCE, where we expect 300 participants and 50 top-level speakers! 🔥🔥 The hot topic for this edition? FRENCH WEST COAST or the many challenges of the “rush to the West.” On the agenda: 🌊 🌊 The rush to the west: spatial concentration on one side, natural areas preservation on the other? 🌊 🌊 Between the frenzy for the coastline and shoreline retreat: what are the possibilities for democratizing access to the French West Coast? 🌊 🌊 Moving toward a resilient, robust, or antifragile coastline? 🌊 🌊 Can the European West Coast be affordable for everyone? 🌊 🌊 Initiatives, acceptance, resistance: who owns the West Coast? 🌊 🌊 From Greater Paris to a Greater West Coast? 🌊 🌊 Coastal beauty and seaside styles: how can we ensure architecture doesn’t spoil everything? 🌊 🌊 The democratization of tourism, overtourism, and the future of local economy 🌊 🌊 Equipping both the coastline and the hinterland? Gentle densification, affordable housing and daily mobility. 🌊 🌊 French performance and excellence: can the coastline help us attract and retain talents? 🌊 🌊 Reindustrialization & coastal development: after the factory, the beach… what will be tomorrow’s social contract for industry workers? 🌊 🌊 How will we manage to plan a high-intensity coastline? Participation is entirely free, but spots will go fast—so register now! 👉 https://lnkd.in/e8g4Gq2Y You can find the full program and all the details here 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eKxJR24P We look forward to seeing you there! #geography #urbanPlanning #realEstate #WestCoast #France2100 #coastalDevelopment #metropolization #territorialPlanning #architecture
