Learning from Failing Dialogues for Sustainable Urban Development

Come listen to inspiring stories about when dialogues for urban development didn’t go as expected.

You will share your lunchtime with eminent experts with different roles in sustainable urban development. They will share their failures and what they have learned when sustainable urban development is headed by participatory  design,including citizens as part of the solution rather than as the problem, creating bridges of trust between people, government and business.
