On the afternoon of April 18, 2024, w88 mobile time, the launching ceremony of the first w88 mobile season of "Running: Starting from Shanghai-Global Urban Humanities Dialogue" (hereinafter referred to as "Running") and the w88 mobile Forum were held at the Palais Brologniard on the banks of the Seine. More than 100 Chinese and foreign guests looked forward to the "borderless city facing the future".
Dialogue between two cities: using culture as a bond to talk about city friendship
"Running" starts from Shanghai and has an in-depth dialogue with an outstanding international city every year. The dialogue cities in the first season are Shanghai and w88 mobile. In September 2023, "Running" will be launched in Shanghai. The first season of "Running" in w88 mobile aims to trace the common characteristics of the development of civilizations in the two cities, condense a common language for dialogue between civilizations, and draw a common vision for mutual learning among civilizations.
As Vincent Louault, Vice Chairman of the France-China Friendship Group of the French Senate, said in his speech, Shanghai and w88 mobile should use water as a medium to work together in urban governance, ecological governance, art economy and other aspects, facing the future, and staying with the river forever.
When promoting "Running", the organizer of the event said that "Running" w88 mobile Dialogue brings together the cultural essence of Shanghai and w88 mobile, embodies the city's heritage, accommodates the soul of painting, the beauty of architecture, the taste of food, and the power of images, presents a puzzle of Chinese and French humanities and art, and carries the friendship between Shanghai and w88 mobile forward. Subsequently, representatives from China and France jointly launched a series of activities for the first season of "Running" in w88 mobile.
Global Waterfront: The river passing through the city is flowing towards the city of the future
The "Running Water" Paris Forum is themed "Our Water, To a Boundless Future" (Our Water, To a Boundless Future) and is divided into two parts: a keynote speech and a roundtable dialogue. Experts, scholars and business representatives from China and France in humanities, arts, finance, w88 and finance focused on the cultural connection and urban development between Shanghai and Paris.
Wu Jiang, a professor at the w88 casino of Architecture and Urban Planning at Tongji University and an academician of the French Academy of Architecture, shared his insights on the sustainable development of waterfront cities around rivers and historical heritage.
Through a historical review of the commercial, w88 and shipping functions of the Huangpu River and Suzhou River, Wu Jiang pointed out that the geographical location where the rivers meet made Shanghai a major trading center in ancient China. Shanghai was born because of water and started because of commerce. After the Shanghai World Expo, "One River and One River" was transformed again to control industrial pollution and strive to transform both sides of the strait into public space. Nowadays, 42 kilometers on both sides of the Suzhou River have been connected. It has not only become an opened public open space and waterfront ecological space in the city, but also an important historical and cultural heritage.
Martin Robain, chief designer of the Shanghai World Expo, academician and president of the French Academy of Architecture, gave a keynote speech titled "Why the Olympics Enflamed w88 mobile", giving insight into the close connection between the Olympic Games, World Expo and other events and the development of cities and rivers.
Martin Roban said that the return of the 2024 Olympic Games to w88 mobile after a century will have a global impact as the city's soft power. The w88 mobile Olympics has significantly reduced its carbon footprint, strengthened resource reuse and circular economy, and paid attention to the well-being of residents, reducing noise and interference, and increasing friendly interactions with nature. The 2010 Shanghai World Expo, with the theme of "Better City, Better Life", also demonstrated Shanghai's efforts for the progress of human civilization and the well-being of urban residents.
Water as medium: urban culture recognizes and learns from each other in exchanges
In the first roundtable dialogue, Chinese and French guests began to think and reverie about "rivers, the source of urban inspiration".
Chen Jialing, the first researcher at the China National Academy of Painting and professor at the Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, and Eric Lefebvre, director of the Cernuchi Asian Art Museum in France, took Chinese painting art as an entry point and deeply discussed the close connection between the source of inspiration for painting creation and water. They believe that the development of modern Chinese art has deep roots in France. Water has universal and global importance. "Waterbank Painting: Chen Jialing Art Exhibition" uses ink painting to express landscape paintings with water as the theme, showing the friendly feelings between China and France.
Yuan Xiaoyi, Dean of the Simian Institute for Advanced Studies in Humanities at East China Normal University, elaborated on the significance of the literary image of rivers to the cities of Shanghai and w88 mobile. The Suzhou River and the Seine River have become a hotbed for Chinese and French literature. When reading the end of the novel "Flowers", she felt the cultural resonance between the Suzhou River and the Seine River.
Myriam Kryger, the curator and former cultural consul of the French Consulate General in Shanghai, has lived in Shanghai for four years and has a more intuitive memory of life in Suzhou River. She believes that both Shanghai and w88 mobile are international metropolises that are open and inclusive, allowing people to always feel the harmonious blend of historical traditions and modern pioneers.
In the view of Andre Cointreau, global president of Le Cordon Bleu, Shanghai and w88 mobile are both located near rivers or estuaries, at the intersection of all kinds of things. It is precisely for this reason that they have become the gastronomic capitals of China and France.
Liu Shilin, Dean of the Urban Science Research Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, shared his insights into the transformation of the two cities. Both cities have experienced the process of transforming from industrial and commercial areas into cultural and ecological functional areas, and both have started the transformation from "cultural and ecological functional areas" to "ecological, humanities, science and technology functional areas".
City without borders: industrial innovation realizes cross-borders in opportunities
The second roundtable dialogue was themed "Two Rivers Dialogue·Innovation Without Boundaries". Representatives from Chinese and French enterprises and waterfront areas actively discussed possible cooperation.
Roundtable dialogue byZhao Yongsheng, director of the French Economic Research Center at the w88 casino and doctoral supervisor at the Sorbonne University in ParisHosted by Pierre-Yves Guice, Chairman of the La Défense Global Business District Innovation Federation and CEO of w88 mobile La Défense, Gary Rosen, CEO of Accor Group Greater China, Peng Yang, founder of Shanghai Silk Institute Technology and Culture Company, Christian Pu Wei, senior director of Sotheby's and head of the Asian Art Department in w88 mobile Bouvet), as well as Liu Chang, Brand Director of Shanghai Suhewan (Group) Co., Ltd., and other guests discussed how industrial innovation and development can cross borders from different perspectives.
Cross-border is becoming an opportunity for enterprise development and economic and w88 cooperation. The guests mentioned the innovation opportunities of the French hotel industry in the Chinese market. The sustainable innovation of traditional silk craftsmanship has enabled "intangible cultural heritage" to go global. The Chinese art w88 also promotes Sino-French cultural exchanges.
From water environment management to waterfront connection and functional improvement, waterfront areas have special attractions in urban development. Shanghai Jing'an Suhewan Functional Zone and w88 mobile La Défense Global Business District not only possess natural beauty, but have also become key carriers of urban renewal, low-carbon sustainable development and industrial innovation.
w88 mobile La Défense Business District and the Seine River grow together. The river is an important part of the overall strategy of the post-development carbon business district and low-carbon city in La Défense. Shanghai Jing'an Suhewan Functional Zone plays the role of the headquarters economy and the advantages of gathering international professional service institutions to provide global services for enterprises and strive to become a world-class modern service industry gathering area.
The two sides discussed further exchanges and cooperation during the forum.
