MakeCity will be looking at social innovation as a key issue: new patterns of organisation and sharing, founded on innovative strategies for cooperation between urban policy makers, citizens and urban designers. We will ask: what kinds of coalitions are forming in order to re-shape local districts, and re-vitalise existing structures and buildings?<\/p>\n
Local production \u2013 of food, of materials, of spaces -with processes of re-use and re-invention – is at the centre of new life-cycles in cities. So urban spaces and architectures that are designed to be adaptable \u2013 even to urban agriculture – are a crucial resource to accommodate these cycles.
\nAdded to this, the fundamental notion that materials used in the built environment need to be recyclable and re-useable, will steer workshops and discussions on innovative material design for architecture. Buildings need new life cycles too – as structures to be reimagined and transformed for entirely new uses.<\/p>\n
By comparing international projects in local milieus where production, consumption and the re-use of resources are linked together spatially and are interdependent, the festival will shed light on civic economies and community-based models that are founded on a process of political renewal. Berlin\u2019s city government is opening up the field of civic engagement and participation on many levels. A next level \u2018Berlin Model\u2019 is currently being developed, with which civic initiatives are more actively co-developing concepts for mixed-use sites.<\/p>\n
We will be asking: what forms of urban governance allow for these new, participatory coalitions between citizens, planners, municipalities and private enterprises? What are the innovative models for cooperative city-making in Europe? How does one get such processes financed? Does shared ownership of urban spaces and new architecture make for a different sense of shared responsibility and civic empowerment?<\/p>\n
