#18 COLLABORATIVE PLACEMAKING

Using our city as an urban space lab

Why the talk is inspiring?

Aiming for a revived urban space, the successful collaboration between the municipality of Trondheim and architecture students from the NTNU Live Studio initiative have resulted in several temporary urban design projects in the city center. These co-creational processes involve both private and public stakeholders, letting the students use the city as an urban space lab. NTNU Live Studio facilitates the learning process of architecture and planning through live projects. Real people, real commitment, real impact.

The talk is held on October 6th, Thursday, 7.00 p.m. at the Vytautas Magnus university (VMU), science and study center, Putvinskio str., 23, Kaunas.Entrance is free of charge.
