Planning for diversity in Malmö
4 October
Segregation and inequality predominate cities in general, including Malmö and Copenhagen. This workshop set focus on city planning for diversity as a tool to counteract such developments. It aims at facilitating exchange of knowledge, experiences and collaborations between different actors, including politicians, civil servants, architects, activists and researchers.
We expect to create fruitful exchanges through dialogue between diverse perspectives and actors, resulting in creative learning processes across different sectors. Welcome to a participant-active workshop with input from both practice and research! A light lunch is provided for registered participants.
