Congress Exhibition

An exhibition to highlight the active cities of the OWHC

As part of the 18th OWHC World Congress in Marrakech, the Exhibition will highlight member cities that are actively contributing to the New Urban Process. It will showcase projects, practices, and initiatives that demonstrate a significant contribution to the habitability of historic centers.

The Exhibition will feature several sections:

  • cities in the OWHC–CHiFA Accelerator
  • projects from the Jean-Paul-L’Allier Prize
  • Good practices
  • submissions from the “Active Cities” Call for Contributions
  • as well as a dedicated section on the New Urban Process

This section will notably include five large panels devoted to Collaborative Networks, CityLabs, the results achieved through these two initiatives, the New Urban Process, and a collaborative idea wall inviting participants to contribute to the next phase of the initiative.

Several formats are being considered to make the exhibition dynamic and accessible: roll-ups, large panels, posters, printed handouts, digital screens, projections, touchscreens, QR codes, and web content. The formats are currently being evaluated and will soon be selected and shared with participants.

By participating, cities will have the opportunity to showcase their achievements, share what they’ve learned, and inspire the entire OWHC network.
