10thU&U PhD Seminar, Lille, June 28th-30th 2023
After successful editions in Leuven, Venice, Barcelona, Paris, Delft, Lausanne and Ghent, the next edition of the PhD seminars in urbanism and urbanization will be hosted in Lille, France.
Like previous editions, the seminar seeks to bring together students writing their PhD thesis in urbanism, working within very different disciplinary traditions, combining historical research, design research and different forms of urban research.
The community supporting this seminar series over the years shares an interest in work that tries to speak across the divide between urban studies and the city-making disciplines, seeking to combine the interpretation of the process of urbanization with the commitment and care for the urban condition in all its manifold manifestations, and bring together urban theory and the theoretical grounding of urbanism.
The seminar welcomes all PhD students working in this mixed field. The call for papers of each edition foregrounds a set of themes that will be given special attention. We invite students to respond to these thematic lines, however, papers addressing other themes and concerns will also be taken into consideration.
Beyond metropolization – Exploring new hybrids
The 10th U&U Seminar will question metropolization, as a hegemonic model, which may not correspond to all forms of urbanization, which may be economically unefficient, spatially unfair, and consumes resources linearly. “Exploring new hybrids” is a way of questioning clear-cut categories, through four crucial topics that urbanism and urbanization are facing today :
Axis 1 – Urban & rural – explores the potential of mixed territories (characteristic of the region), in the climatic issues, especially those related to soils (groundwater, food, fertility, short circuits, etc.).
Axis 2 – Crossborders hybridations – studies the modalities of cooperation for projects between politically autonomous but interdependent communities as a living area.
Axis 3 – Hybridizing resources, addresses all the modalities of circular urbanism and in particular how the purpose of the “Zero Net Land Take” law is implemented troughout Europe.
Axis 4 – Hybridizing practices – analyzes hybrid methods of research-action, design-by-research, research-creation, which are increasingly present in the modalities of urban collective action.

Pierre Caye, philosopher, is director of research at the CNRS. He founded the international research group “Savoirs artistiques et traités d’art de la Renaissance aux Lumières”.
Former student of the École Normale Supérieure (Ulm), he has been developing for over 30 years research on the knowledge of architecture, urbanism and regional planning, and through these, on the question of technique, renewing thoroughly the genealogy of it, notably in: Durer. Elements pour la transformation du système productif (Belles Lettres, 2020). Other key publications include: Critique de la destruction créatrice.
