The College of Architecture, the Center for European and Transatlantic Studies within The Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, and the Office of International Education at Georgia Tech, will host a conference on the banlieues of France and the inner suburbs of Atlanta, two suburban conditions that have much to teach us through a comparison of how they are conceived, perceived, and lived.
Preceding the conference, a film series will be presented that highlights the subjects to be discussed during the conference.
Featured Speakers :
o Frédéric Druot, architect
o Jean-Louis Pan Ké Shon, demographer
o Yamina Benguigui, filmmaker
