Arising from the experience of S+T+ARTS Prize winning project- Ciutat Vella’s land-use plan, this workshop is open to a wide range of urban agents with different scientific, artistic, political and technical backgrounds to reflect on several cutting-edge questions in European cities.
What makes a city liveable? How can urban planning, public policies and practices from other disciplines bridge the gap to a more liveable urban environment? What infrastructures and tools are available? What are the cultural frictions still to overcome? And which are the different actors involved in this transformation.
