THE “PASSAGES” PROJECT

Action-research project in partnership with the cities of Barcelona, Buenos Aires, Montevideo, Paris, Santiago, Shanghai, Toronto, Tours, Valparaiso, Paris… for the implementation of demonstration projects, academic exchanges and architectural and cultural events.

With the launch of the international and multi-partner Passages programme, aimed at professionals and the general public alike, City on the Move is seeking to emphasise the role of passages as essential links in our journeys around the city.
For two years (2014-2015), a network of international experts will work to develop research and scientific, cultural and artistic events on this theme. Given that passages have always been present in our cities in different forms, why today in particular? How do we do full justice to these essential and yet often neglected connections? What are the potential avenues for development and innovation available to these small mobility spaces?
