This week we had a chance to participate in a conference on spatial development of Polish capital as well as look at the examples of Helsinki, Ballin, Rotterdam. How to combine the challenges of spatial development of the city with the needs of its inhabitants? is Design Thinking helpful here?
“Today’s cities are global powerhouses of economy, innovation, and creativity. They produce the majority of global wealth, accommodate the most possibilities for innovation, and cultivate cultural diversity. There are five factors that enhance urban creativity and innovativeness: multiple layers of culture, a sense of freedom, a feeling of vitality, an ease of living, and a sense of a uniqueness stemming from shared urban narratives.” (Anne Stenros)
