<nettime> Natural City Symposium | Ideal Spaces Working Group

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED

To the Natural City Symposium and Art Exhibition

The symposium will explore the following topic areas:

the history of the idea, and of the ‘natural’ & ‘green’ city in its history; and how this has manifested up to the present day;
the urban (“city”) today as a non-place and ecological hazard;
the natural/green city of the immediate future, and related to this,
new places for new communities.

It will be a combination of short presentations and moderated discussions, which will be published. The event shall be recorded and streamed live.

The event will take place on the weekend of September 1 & 2, 2023, at the Foundation’s base in Karlsruhe, Germany. The venue is located within a landscape protection area outside the city, has a large garden and a villa from the 1950s with the possibility of an overnight stay. The symposium is organised in partnership with Jeff Klotz.
