> Monday 8/11 - Building artificial international cities
Cruising ships represent an example of how it is possible to build artificial international cities. Within a cruising ship there coexists three different international communities: first, the shipbuilders community represented by the ship-owner, the building company and the shipbuilders themselves; second, the cruising company and the ship-crew community; and third, the passengers community. These communities compose an artificial international city with a changing level of integration.

Any city, during its history, experiences some degree of internationality due to the interplay of new technologies and migration.

These cities give back the internationality of History itself which attracts people tracing their origins in that group.

> Saturday 13/11 - Seminar: “How is and was built urban internationality?”
