The City on the Move Institute, in partnership with the journal Urban China, staged the Chinese version of the multimedia exhibition “The street belongs to all of us!” for the first time in China from March 21 to April 6, 2008 at the Zendai MOMA in Shanghai’s new Pudong district. It was inaugurated in the presence of the Vice-President of Tongji University, the Director of the Urban Planning Bureau and the Expo 2010 Events Director, and opens with a lecture by the Italian architect Massimiliano Fuksas. After the current showing in Beijing, the exhibition will then move to the Times Branch Museum in Canton in July, to Chengdu in September and to Chongqing in October.
This exhibition explores the multiple dimensions of the street in modern cities. Some forty works by Chinese artists establish a “dialogue” with the exhibition themes: photographs, architectural designs and installations in the public space will cover the exhibition’s three themes (architecture and urban planning, governance and media) and the issue of “ecological streets”. Street shows and artistic events highlighting the topic of the street in the modern Chinese city enliven the debate throughout the duration of the exhibition.
Cultural events
From March 21 to April 6 throughout the city
A scientific seminar was held on March 22 at Tongji University on the topic “Is China in the process of inventing the streets of tomorrow?” What are the new ways of managing and regulating today’s Chinese streets? Theoretical approaches and examples of existing practices formed the basis of the debate on the way that the street can be incorporated into the design and management of China’s new open spaces, with a particular focus on Shanghai. Is it not crucial to start thinking now about the building of hundreds of thousands of kilometres of streets in the years to come?
