How can creative grassroots action inspire large-scale urban development?

In Vantaa we focus on the changing areas of Tikkurila and Aviapolis and look for new ways how a city can enable independent city making. Join this session on how to find new uses for old buildings, how Copenhagen engages its citizens, what is the Dutch broedplaats model for funding bottom-up creative hubs, and why civic activism changed the way the city of Brussels is planning its urban centre.
