Villes vertes et villes intelligentes devraient faire bon ménage. Au New Cities Summit qui s’est tenu les 17 et 18 juin à Dallas, on prévient toutefois que leur transformation ne se fera pas en un jour.

Hugo Sedouramane, l’Opinion (France, June 18) Former Dallas city council member Veletta Forsythe Lill, interviewed by CBS’s Bud Gillett (US, June 17)
Nearly a month has passed now since the more than 800 people from all of the globe who attended this year’s New Cities Summit in Dallas, Texas, packed up their bags, and returned home. Each is now equipped—if the Summit proved its purpose—with a slew of practical ideas on how to positively transform the urban environment.
At a recent New Cities Summit it is clear that the old Dallas is fading into a distant memory. Today the downtown of America’s ninthmost populous city has thriving museums, performing-arts spaces, a green market, restaurants and innovative retailers that are bringing people back to its pavements.

THE ART NEWSPAPER Number 259, July/August 2014
NEWS US & Americas
Rapid rise in cultural districts— but there are risks More creative zones are being built than ever, but who do they serve? URBAN PLANNING New York. Around $250bn will be spent on the creation of cultural districts over the next ten years—more than at any other point in modern history. They are all being built with the aim of stimulating local economies, but it is often unclear who benefits. “These things are happening whether we like them or not, so we need to understand how to make them work,” says Adrian Ellis, the founder of AEA Consulting and the director of the Global Cultural Districts Network, which was set up last year to foster discussion between those driving these projects. Cultural districts have developed rapidly across the US. In 1998, the nonprofit organisation Americans for the Arts reported that around 90 US cities had cultural sectors or were planning them. Today, the group estimates that there are around 500 cultural zones in the US.
Private investment sets the pace Ambitious projects include a $100m investment in the downtown Brooklyn cultural district in New York and the continuing development of the Dallas Arts District, where entrepreneurs and museum directors are joining forces to enhance the “economic and cultural life of the region”, its website says. Commercial interests are leading the way. Millions of dollars in private funding have been spent on construction in Dallas since the Nasher Sculpture Center was founded in 2003. Nine buildings have been created or renovated
by renowned architects including Norman Foster and Rem Koolhaas. Only one, the Dallas City Performance Hall, was financed solely through taxes. Although $1bn in public money has been invested in the area over the past three
“These things are happening whether we like them or not” decades, this sum has been “more than matched by private investment”, says Catherine Cuellar, the executive director of the Dallas Arts District. In June, the city hosted the New Cities Summit, where cultural and political leaders from Sharjah, China and the US gathered, reflecting the fact that the rapid growth in cultural districts is not restricted to the West. In China, “there have been up to 400 new
museums per year” in the past two years, says Jeffrey Johnson, the founding director of the China Megacities Lab at Columbia University, New York. In the United Arab Emirates, planners are building branches of the Louvre and the Guggenheim museums on Saadiyat Island, which is undergoing a $27bn development campaign. And although spending by Qatar Museums seems to be slowing down after a regime change in the state, a reported $1bn was spent on the project in 2013 alone. There are fundamental differences between the approaches to cultural districts taken in the US and in emerging economies, mainly due to differing political systems. China, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, for example, have little pretence towards democracy; a report published by the Economist Intelligence Unit in 2012 listed all three as “authoritarian regimes”. In China,
US models take root in Europe Culture has traditionally enjoyed more state support in Europe than in the US. In the 1830s, Frederick Wilhelm IV of Prussia envisaged the cultural district that would later become Museum Island in Berlin. There is a “constitutional obligation to fund cultural life” in Germany, says Michael Eissenhauer, the director-general of the National Museums in Berlin. But government cutbacks have forced administrators to rethink their strategies and many are beginning to consider American models. Most of the funding for the Berlin museums comes from entrance fees. Even in the UK, where admission to national museums is free, private developers are the ones pushing for cultural regeneration. After “60 to 70 years of public sector-driven regeneration” in London, redevelopment is now largely the preserve of commercial developers, says Mark Davy, the founder of the consultancy Futurecity.

US NEWS IN BRIEF
KOWLOON: CULTURE.HKU.HK. EMANUEL: ZBIGNIEW BZDAK/CHICAGO TRIBUNE. PEREZ: JIMI CELESTE/PATRICKMCMULLAN.COM
Mexico moves again—to new space in Arsenale ■ Mexico has signed a 20-year deal for a new national pavilion at the Venice Biennale. The country will take up residency in a 250 sq. m space in the Sale d’Armi area of the Arsenale for the art and architecture Biennales, as well as other non-commercial cultural events, according to Mexican news websites including excelsior.com. The Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes has agreed to pay a fee of Ps21m (€1.2m), much of which will go towards the restoration and maintenance of the site. This will be the second move for Mexico in as many years. The country had been expected to remain for around six years in the former church of San Lorenzo, where it showed for the first time last year, but opted instead for a longer lease in the Arsenale. The Art Newspaper reported in 2011 that Paolo Baratta, the president of the Venice Biennale, was considering the Sale d’Armi as a site for new permanent pavilions. So far, Argentina, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey and Peru have all signed agreements, in addition to Mexico. C.B.
Architecture biennial for Chicago next year ■ Rahm Emanuel, the mayor of Chicago, has announced plans for the city to host an
architecture biennial next year. The inaugural event is due to take place from 1 October 2015 to 3 January 2016. It is sponsored by the oil company BP, which is giving $2.5m. The event will be directed by the curator Joseph Grima and Sarah Herda, the director of the Graham Foundation, a Chicagobased grant-making organisation. “The Chicago Architecture Biennial will continue our legacy as the world’s gathering place for exploring new ideas,” Emanuel says. P.P.
Pérez hands out first $10,000 artist prize ■ The artist Suzanne McClelland has been awarded the inaugural YoungArts visual arts residency, which includes a $10,000 grant as well as housing and studio space for four weeks. “This programme is yet another important step in solidifying our legacy of bringing art into the community, building better cities and supporting the growth of emerging artists,” says Jorge Pérez, the chief executive of the Related Group property development firm, which is providing funding for the award. In 2011, Pérez gave $40m in art and cash to the Miami Art Museum, which then changed its name to the Pérez Art Museum Miami. P.P.

We all know that apps are a daily part of our lives. After all, 56% of people on the planet own a smart phone, and according to Flurry, people are starting to spend more time using apps than they do watching TV. This begs the question: what apps work best in work cities? Are all urban mobile apps created equal? According to Bruno Aracaty, the co-founder of Colab, which was AppMyCity’s 2013 winning app, a good app “does something unexpected — or expected, but for some reason nobody has done it before.” While this is good general advice, all cities have their quirks and differences, which leads one to suspect that some apps will be more popular than others in different locations. We looked at four major urban centers — New York, London, Paris and Seoul — to see how which apps are tailored specifically to a city, and which are popular everywhere.
