Aportes para el U20: Coproducción del Conocimiento en la Dimensión Metropolitana

International Conference

The International Conference “Aportes para el U20” will occur on October 24 at 9.30AM at the Aula Magna of the Faculty of Architecture, Design and Urbanism of the UBA, in Buenos Aires. International experts, diverse actors from academia, civil society, and local and national government officials will explore the theory of co-production of metropolitan knowledge.

The opening of the U20 will be attended by the Rector of the UBA, Prof. Dr. Alberto Barbieri; the Foreign Affairs Secretary General of the Buenos Aires City Government, Fernando Straface; the Dean of the FADU, Prof. Arq. Guillermo Cabrera; and university authorities.

This second meeting, regarding the path of cities and the global agenda, aims to strengthen urban practices necessary to address, from a social integration perspective, the great challenges of our cities. The first meeting took place at the International Symposium held last July at the New School in New York City. On that occasion, Dean Guillermo Cabrera, along with development specialists from around the world participated in the conference “Cities and the Global Agenda: On the Road to the U20 in Buenos Aires.” At this conference, Cabrera outlined the challenges he faces teaching in the university, and FADU in particular, in relation to the future agenda of cities and urban culture. He highlighted the imperative need for interaction between academia and governance, relying on an articulation such that “a small movement made at the same time among many, can produce a real change worthwhile.”

The International Conference “Aportes para el U20” is organized in three sessions that will take place during the morning, afternoon, and evening in the Aula Magna of the FADU from 9AM to 9PM and will conclude with a dialogue between Franco Moccia, Minister of Human Development and Transport of the Buenos Aires City Government and Dean Guillermo Cabrera. The dialogue aims to synthezie the substantive contributions of this conference to the U20.
