III Dear participants, Welcome to the City Street2 (CS2) Conference! The year 2016 is indeed a year to revisit city streets, and put efforts together to understand, explain and propose contemporary approaches to streets in an ever expanding global context. We launched the CS2 with the following theme: Streets connect but also disrupt. Streets are traces of cities’ evolution and of civilizations. In the 21st century, with unprecedented urbanization and the need for planning resilient cities, the impact on streets is tremendous in relation to transport, communication, identities, safety, functions and socio-cultural roles. Queries arise, on whether anticipating or influencing change in the roles and characters of streets should be addressed within pre-determined conventional, professional, and institutional settings or within a broader framework. Defining the need for reforming streets that disrupt to those that connect, this conference asks: to what extent should disciplines be engaged with street progress in terms of theory, practice and education in an era with new social networks, new political springs, new diseases, and new forms of art and culture? To what extent are streets urban arteries seeking to facilitate communication or is there a new complexity of streets, uncertainties, and questions to be addressed? As various actors find ways to express what is going on in streets in terms of their design, use and role in cities, the discussion on streets goes beyond the domain of design and planning. Various aspects of deliberate manifestations of social needs and concerns are addressed within the broader scope of everyday life, politics, economy, technology, communication, to name few. With their ambitions and interests, these actors attempt to reform streets in a versatile global framework, using a wide range of tools based on their backgrounds (internet, writing, painting, filming, installing and so on). The Faculty of Architecture, Art and Design at the Notre Dame University Louaize wishes you a successful conference. We hope this international and interdisciplinary platform provides you with opportunities for scholarly exchange of thoughts, and inspirations to new and adaptive approaches for further living, using, and designing city streets.
