Songyang-Regions on the Rise

Songyang-Regions on the Rise Conference

8–10. November 2018

Rethinking strategies for new rural developments is a pressing global challenge today. Dynamic urbanization processes shape large areas of the world – and China in particular – while the hinterland has long been a subject of neglect. To stimulate an international discussion, Aedes Architecture Forum Berlin presented the exhibition ‘Rural Moves – The Songyang Story’ this year, which led to the initiation of the conference ‘Regions on the Rise – Culture and Architecture as Drivers for Rural Development’ in Songyang County, China. The focus lies on the dualities and interrelations occurring in the relationship between the urban and the rural, always seeking to explore what culture and architecture can do in interplay with economy, spatial planning, infrastructure and ecology. This development might establish new concepts and therefore a new rural con dence and identity as well as economic progress and reliability as major incentives to make people stay or even return into the hinterland.
