Experiments and Experiences on fostering Urban Futures

Aalborg University
Auditorium
Fredrik Bajers Vej 5
Postboks 159
9100 Aalborg
Denmark

From September 21-23. the DIST center at Aalborg University in Copenhagen will host a conference on experimental urban development in cooperation with GivRum. The purpose of the conference is to gather researchers, planners, developers and activists to a three day exploration of how we can create more liveable and sustainable cities through experimental urban development.
The conference is framed by the international City Link festival, which is this year happening in the Sydhavn neighborhood in Copenhagen. The festival theme is “building bridges” and works with how to sustain and develop communities in the area.

September 21:
Activists and researchers present and reflect on protest actions, art projects and cultural spaces from Hamburg that are connected to the local right to the city network (Recht auf Stadt). Together they will illustrate that it’s often artists, activists and cultural producers who open up laboratories in the city and carry out experiments in public space for co-creation, self-organization and alternative community life.

This way they contribute to the liveability of cities, foster local democracy and reinforce urban resilience. This part of the conference is organized and presented by Michael Ziehl, Carsten Rabe and Till Haupt, editors of “City Linkage: Art and Culture Fostering Urban Futures”. The publication bases on events, lectures and exhibitions of the City Link Festival 2014 in Hamburg.

Schedule of the Panel:
“City Linkage” introduction and presentation by Michael Ziehl, Carsten Rabe and Till Haupt – 18 min.
“How to Claim the Right to the City” talk by Till Haupt – 18 min.
“Producing Urban Citizenship in Arrivati Park” talk by Niels Boeing – 18 min.
“A Space of Performing Citizenship: The Gängeviertel” talk by Michael Ziehl – 18 min.
“Unclosing Spaces by Means of a Festival: Hallo Festspiele” talk by Dorothee Halbrock, Julia Lerch-Zajączkowska – 10 min.
open panel discussion, special guest: Oleg Koefoed (Growing Pathways, Copenhagen) – 38 min.
