City Interaction lab

City-to-city learning: from data to city, from city to data

City Interaction Lab aims at building interdisciplinary inclusive city-living in urban areas around the globe. We unite researchers, urbanologists, artists and educators for open workshops, common projects development and city-volunteering. We work in areas of city perception, city analysis and data visualisation.

How does City Interaction Lab (Paris) work?

1. Virtual residency working on common projects with us

2. Participating in open lectures and seminars

We provide you space (virtual during COVID19 with application form), where you can work/co-create and develop your own city-projects. Due to COVID19 we have online activities.
