The City of What’s New La ville quoi de neuf ? Didier Cornille Hélium, 2018

Throughout the entire world, cities are becoming bigger and bigger, so vast that one can feel a little lost. Is it therefore possible, in a world where everything changes so rapidly, where social inequalities are increasing, to create a city, or part of a city, where one would be able to breathe, to grow vegetables, to be more mobile, to be smarter(!), more active? A city that would suit everybody. Didier Cornille explores all kinds of new ideas, neighborhoods and ways of life, of a city or a specific area. Put together, these new cities would certainly create the perfect city of tomorrow. A book to get acquainted with and get a better understanding of all the experiments that are building the city of tomorrow, and better futures, perhaps.
