Sense the City – Exploring the Future with all your Senses /
Book Launch & Expert Talk on Urban Futures
What kind of City of the Future do you wish for? »Sense the City« has used the human senses in search of people’s ideas about the future to create new spaces for thinking and feeling.
In a series of visioning workshops people from different backgrounds and experts from various disciplines explored urban futures of a somewhat different kind. The study has first evaluated these ideas and visions, and has then developed them further sketching out concrete utopias that offer new pathways for the future of urban design and life in cities.
The stories about the city of the future shall inspire, provoke, raise questions and invite people to participate, imitate, and scale up these visions.
Franziska Schreiber, co-author of the study, will discuss urban futures with renowned guests and reflect on how a positive socio-ecological transformation of cities can succeed.
Date:
Wednesday, 18 November from 18:00-19:30 CET via Zoom.
