Faced with the planet's limits, can we use collective foresight to rethink the way we live?

Cities and regions are facing major challenges: climate upheaval, environmental vulnerability, economic change, changing lifestyles, etc.

Faced with this growing complexity, four partners - a higher education and research institute (ENSA Nantes), a research and artistic residency institute (IEA Nantes), a development and engineering company (SCE-KERAN) and a town planning agency (AURAN) - have joined forces to promote inter-knowledge and co-construction through a research-based approach.

The Living within Planetary Limits Chair brings them together and combines their complementary expertise to explore new ways of ‘living’ within planetary limits.

How does this Chair challenge their practices, and how does it feed into their work? This is the question that this round-table will explore.

Speakers: Laurent Devisme, Maud Joalland, Caroline Lanciaux, Lucie Renou, Romain Siegfried
