CONNECTING NORDIC CITIES

Mer information och program kommer!

Welcome to Lab Västerås September 27^th- 29^th. The focus of the Lab will be on safety and inclusion in the city center.   Västerås is facing a major development with i.a. an expected population growth and new international citizens. In such a development process, how can we ensure that the city center, with its many different urban spaces, is a place that is experienced as safe and inclusive? At the Lab, we will work with concrete urban spaces in the city center in Västerås, and we will hear from various actors what challenges and potentials they see. Thus, the focus will also be on how different forms of collaboration and organization can help to raise such an issue around safety and inclusion.   There will be inspiration and perspective with other Nordic examples - both in relation to concrete urban space development as well as process and cooperation. We welcome participants from different administrations within the municipality as well as external partners who can contribute to the discussion about the safe and inclusive city center.   Very welcome!

Welcome to the NCN launch meeting!   Gehl and Nordregio are working on compiling a conclusion of the themes and the questions that have been discussed during the year 2022 in labs and morning meetings. The conclusion will be presented at a digital meeting where we will discuss the result. We are now preparing for a launch meeting were we invite interesting Nordic parties to reflect on the conclusion.   The meeting will be held in English.

NCN will in 2023 continue to focus on health and social inclusion, and how this can be done more concretely through urban planning.  The headlines of this morning meeting will be:   Knowledge and data as a basis for district development. What knowledge do we need? And what is the best way of using it?
