Reimagining Sustainable & Just Urban Futures Through the Lens of Degrowth
Wednesday September 25, 2024 14:30 - 15:45 CEST
Keilepand Outdoor Point 1
Join us for an interactive walkshop where we invite you to critically explore placemaking community engagement potentials through the lens of degrowth. We invite you to take a walk around the Katoenhuis area and exchange views on the challenges faced by placemaking practitioners, exploring solutions for more sustainable and just urban futures. Our goal is to identify challenges and solutions to the socio-ecological transformations of public spaces through everyday experiences. We will critically reflect on potential risks associated with placemaking such as gentrification and greenwashing. Lastly, we will consider how placemaking practices could be informed by concepts of degrowth and reflect on solutions that can benefit the participants’ practices in their local cases and examples.
 
We hope that participants will take away useful insights and meaningful connections, and an overall understanding of the degrowth main concepts.

How can placemaking contribute to actions and processes rooted in sharing and caring?

How can these actions and processes drive radical sustainable changes? 

Let’s think about it collectively!
