New Museums: an efficient tool for social cohesion and local development. An international seminar in Paris, 12-13 March 2007
INTA, International Urban Development Association, and the County Council of Val-de-Marne in France have taken the initiative for a European reflection on the role of new museums as tools for mediation and redevelopment of the public urban space. Today, the role of cultural facilities is central in the future development and the attractivity of territories. Cultural infrastructures in the urban environment have multiple impacts: generating economic flows, stimulating creativity among the population, and shaping the built and natural environment. Today, these cultural facilities foster the revitalisation of neighbourhoods, contributing to new synergies and inducing positive transformation on their territories. Through this international seminar to take place at University Paris XII in Val-de-Marne, the International Urban Development Association aims to specify the role of new museums in social cohesion and local development. Participation to the Symposium is free of charge.
