The FLANEUR city lab aims to map interesting initiatives focusing on urban issues, be they of academic, artistic, sociological, business nature or multidisciplinary approaches.

Such projects uncover, explore and deepen collective understanding of what urbanization trends represent, in a city like Shanghai, for China and the rest of the world.

A dialogue between city experts could not only foster knowledge sharing, but also potentially lead to further cross-cutting cooperations.
