In the last years enormous price increases in urban areas have taken hold, legal and illegal migration have put further pressure on neighbourhoods. Automation is threatening to delete low-threshold work opportunities. People are on the move, at the same time these processes have led to dissociation of the built fabric from its users so large, it has occasionally spurred riots.

Migration and change are a reality. The built environment is just a stage we can modify. The approach of top-down planning is failing us.

We would like to explore ways to weave an urban fabric which can react to 21st century needs and adaptions participatory planning, co-creation, bottom-up planning, cooperative building, commoning, inclusion. The idea is to create cultural seed capital through a series of workshops in different places, based on local knowledge provided by people in these contexts. The workshops are aimed at private and public local actors, planning professionals and investors.
