On the occasion of the opening of the Venice Biennale, the network is organizing a roundtable discussion with river researchers and activists from eight regions in Europe.
flux.urbains is a network initiated by urbanes.land and LATITUDE Platform. It incites a River Urbanism Movement across the continent. Eight existing teams of research and action that have started to care about individual rivers, join forces, ideas, and the shared ambition to re-position the secondary rivers: as potentials for learning and understanding today’s Europe, its recent and ongoing transformations, collective identity, and a liveable future.
The network acted for the first time in Venice on May 20th, 2023, on the occasion of the Architecture Biennale 2023. Rivers’ representatives - be they inhabitants, associations, experts, institutions - have come together to set an agenda for secondary rivers of hybrid condition. It started with a close look on everyday conditions and practices, emerging issues, and projects, drawing stories from who and what is already there.
The event is a collaboration of urbanes.land and LATITUDE Platform together with raumlaborberlin.
