CONNECTING NORDIC CITIES

Nordic City Network is a networking organisation connecting professional urban planners and designers, dedicated to sharing the latest knowledge to develop sustainable cities in the Nordics.

Our network connects Nordic city representatives with business, academia and civil society to explore sustainable urban planning and development. By sharing, exploring and learning we boost urban planning in our Nordic Cities to become sustainable and to reach Agenda 2030.

Event Details

Urban communities around the world are faceing great challenges in form of climate change, lack of trust in democratic institutions, increasing inequality and health differences. Many actors need to cooperate to adress these complex issues. And to succeed, we need to work together - not just to formulate solutions - but also defining the problems. For 3 years, the member cities of Nordic City Network have focused on seeing, understanding and changing their communities to make them more inclusive, resilient and innovative. Through theses, tests and evaluation, the cities have produced new ideas and methods for urban development. In practice, it is about co-creation, that committed citizens, idea-driven sector, business, municipality and politics come together to formulate challenges and solutions for the Nordic cities of the future. The processes have been documented and become a story about each city. Together, the stories of the 15 member cities become a larger narrative about the Nordic region: Nordic City Stories. The futures the Nordic cities are looking at, and how to get there. The Vision of the Nordic Council of Ministers is that the Nordic region will become the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030. Based on our local contexts, we can contribute with solutions to global challenges. With the Nordic City Stories conference, we want to share experience and knowledge from our Nordic Region and contribute to the vision by working together on solutions for the future. November 24th researchers, NGOs, activists and practitioners, come together to explore how we get people to discover and understand their city in order to ultimately recreate it. A sustainable city for and by the people who live there. Very welcome to participate in this online conference!

Innovasjonsdistrikt og bydel Elgeseter

TESTARENA: Bydelshuset Bøker & Bylab

Velkommen til Nordic City Networks første digitale lab, som sendes fra Trondheim. For å møte FNs bærekraftsmål trenger vi kunnskap omsatt i innovativ utvikling og verdiskaping.
