DESCRIPTION:"Les Grands Voisins" ("The Great Neighbors") was a temporary oc
 cupancy project at the decommissioned Saint Vincent-de-Paul Hospital in ce
 ntral Paris. Home to over 600 new immigrants and at-risk individuals\; bud
 get office space for over 250 NGOs\, artists\, and startups\; plus worksho
 ps\, community gardens\, camping facilities and resident-led programming\,
  the site hosted roughly 1500 employees and up to 2000 local visitors each
  day. The project was slated for demolition in 2017\, but the City of Pari
 s has decided to continue the project as an "urban laboratory" until 2023 
 to help determine future uses on the site.\n\n\nThe case study of Les Gran
 ds Voisins provides a model for how temporary use can address many social\
 , ecological\, community\, and design challenges currently facing urban pl
 anners. It also demonstrates what obstacles may be faced when planning tem
 porary projects at the city scale.\n\nJoin us for "Not Built to Last"\, a 
 presentation on Les Grands Voisins by two of its founders\, Zofia Basista 
 and Aurore Rapin\, followed by a discussion with Dan Campo\, author of The
  Accidental Playground\, Dan D’Oca\, Founder of Interboro Partners\, and
  Professor of Urban Design at the GSD\, and Garnette Cadogan\, DUSP MLK Sc
 holar.\n\nThe event will also be livestreamed on twitter.
