Vegetal City

Utopia, de l'Atlantide aux cités du futur - from September 5 to December 31, 2009

Exhibition in partnership with Mundaneum (Mons, Belgium)

Population pressure, increasing urbanization of lifestyles, threatening to climate changes and strive for sustainable development lead back to rethink the city. At the four corners of the world, architects, planners and policy makers undertake to practice in the near future of urban utopias, ideals approached reflections of contemporary society.

The World Center of Peace (Centre mondial de la paix), Freedom and Human Rights (des Libertés et des Droits de l’Homme) is pleased, by presenting "Utopia, Atlantis cited in the future" (Utopia, de l'Atlantide aux cités du futur), to invite you to plunge into the history of utopian urban and societal.
The field of alternative it proposes is a beautiful demonstration of multiple forms that can be coexistence between man and nature as that of men in the city.
