People-Driven City 2019
Event Information
Description
URBAN CONFERENCE /// KAUPUNKISEMINAARI
How do we create more inclusive urban spaces in an increasingly complex urban context?
How can citizens learn and gain better understanding about their cities – and vice versa?
Crowdfunding and public projects – match made in heaven or road to chaos?
Is a desirable, sustainable and also affordable neighbourhood an utopian dream?
How do we empower locality in a fast growing, ever-changing city?
'People-Driven City' is the main conference of 'Lähiöfest' – festival of neighbourhoods. In 2019 Lähiöfest takes place in four different Finnish cities: Espoo, Riihimäki, Kauniainen and Helsinki. Findings and learnings of the festival will be shared and digested during the conference – this year located in Dipoli, the beautiful gem of the architectural couple Raili and Reima Pietilä at the campus of Aalto University.
Expect a whole day of inspiring keynote speakers, engaging discussions and workshops on urgent urban topics and interesting case studies from cities around the world.
