Beginning of the 2023 academic year: series of scientific events centered on sustainable cities
Following on from the cycle on the Anthropocene in 2021 and 2022, this year's scientific season at PSL University explores the theme of the sustainable city. As the UN's eleventh sustainable development goal, this theme is at the heart of major scientific and public issues. Paradoxical places of all possibilities and all inequalities, urban spaces shape our daily lives as much as our imaginations. From technical and technological revolutions to the apprehension of pollution and risks, via geography, urban history and public policies, thinking about the sustainable city invites us to explore all fields of knowledge and to question the notions of public spaces and common goods. A highlight of the new academic year, this series of scientific events reflects the multidisciplinary culture of our university, our determination to contribute to the major challenges of our time, and the commitment of all our communities to a sustainable world.
