“City streets are the places where more than half of the world’s population dwell,communicate, exchange and interact. At the turn of the millennium, the “City Street” conference issues the most vivid and established part of the wold’s cities, the street,and proposes a (re)reading and a (re)thinking about its people, physicality, image and virtuality and questions the street’s multi scalar dimensions, disciplines, textuality and structure.

The millennium’s culture, technology and manifestations (from political and economical to philosophical, artistic and media manifestations) become part of the street’s discussion.

Upon the request of many who would like to participate in the City Street Conference, the organizing committee has decided to extend the deadline for accepting abstracts until July 21, 2009. Please send you abstract, between 300-500 words, to Dina Baroud at citystreet09@ndu.edu.lb See Call for papers for abstract template.”
