On Thursday, March 21, 2024, at 8 p.m. at the MJC in Chambéry, the scientific culture association Science Action is organizing a meeting on the theme "Ecological transition: what kind of city for our future?"
ABOUT THE MEETING
Difficult traffic conditions, air pollution, declining quality of life... Living in the city seems to be getting more and more complicated. Yet by 2050, there will be around 6 billion city dwellers worldwide. It therefore seems essential to redesign the urban landscape to make it more efficient and more pleasant to live in. Thinking about the city of the future means asking ourselves how we will live in thirty or fifty years' time.
Will urban areas succeed in transforming themselves in a sustainable way that is compatible with a planet with limited resources? Will the city of the future be self-sufficient in terms of energy and food? How can water be given back its rightful place at the heart of cities? Will there still be cars? Will urban policies incorporate social and environmental dimensions?
These are all questions that our speakers will attempt to answer during this coffee debate.

ABOUT SCIENCE CAFÉS
Science Cafés allow the general public to discuss a wide range of topics, often related to current events, with experts and researchers in a friendly atmosphere. They are organized by the Science-Actions association, in collaboration with the University of Savoie Mont Blanc, the city of Chambéry, the Astrée cinema, and the MJC youth center in Chambéry.
These evenings are organized around the principle of a debate, which is based on questions asked by the audience to the speakers. They are neither lectures nor conferences given by a speaker. They allow everyone to form their own opinion on often complex subjects for which there is no simple or single solution. They also provide an opportunity to learn more about the research being carried out locally in the Chambéry area and neighboring regions by researchers, engineers, and doctors who volunteer their time to participate in our evenings.
Once a quarter, Cafés Science takes the form of a movie screening called Ciné Science. In this case, the film is shown at the Astrée cinema at 8:30 p.m. It is followed by a discussion with two or three experts on the film's theme.
