In 2017, the Transversal Group Inventing Greater Paris (Labex Futurs Urbains/Paris-Est) launched a series of seminars exploring the history of the Greater Paris metropolitan concept.
This third seminar session provocatively opens the investigation to the modern era. What could the idea of a Greater Paris have meant to the contemporaries of François I, Louis XIV, or Voltaire?
Two presentations will provide insights and fuel discussion with the audience:
– Robert Muchembled, professor emeritus at Paris 13 University: 'When Paris dominated its countryside (1500-1789)'
– Diane Roussel, lecturer (ACP/UPEM): 'The war of boundaries? The opening and closing of Paris in the 16th century' The session will take place at the École Nationale Supérieure d'Architecture de Paris-Belleville on March 29, 2018, from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., in Room 12, 2nd floor.
