‘My city – my view’: EUROCITIES 25 years publication
This year EUROCITIES celebrates 25 years of successful work to promote the urban agenda in Europe. As part of the anniversary activities, EUROCITIES is marking the occasion by publishing a photo book, 'my city - my view', showing how young people in our member cities between 15 and 25 view their city today
In the context of this year's EUROCITIES conference in
Genoa, Italy, the photos will illustrate 'people and
place': themes like ‘wealth and poverty’, ‘planning for the
future’, ‘transformation processes’ or ‘liveable neighbourhoods’
allow a different view of the city from the usual marketing and
promotion images.
Over 70 cities have contributed to the photo book and competition,
which closed on 1 June. Photos, along with their descriptions, have
now been sent to the jury who will pick 3 equal winners, to be
announced after 21 June. All photos will be published in this book,
which will be presented at the Genoa 2011 annual conference.
All young photographers participating in the competition will also
be invited to attend the conference, to meet with politicians,
attend the competition awards ceremony and to enjoy a special side
programme of activities.
