Description

Cities produce economic output as well as know-how and innovations. They are also places characterized by connectivity, creativity and services. Given their density, they offer great potential in terms of striving to save energy and lower their carbon footprint. However, cities today are also confronted with several challenges, e.g. unemployment, segregation and issues related to climate change.

How can cities make use of their potential to apply themselves to mastering today's challenges with creativity and know-how? This workshop will focus on innovative solutions for cities while bridging the gap between theory and practice.
