Bilbao Metropoli 30 is organising this year’s URBAN REVOLUTION Aurrera! international congress, which will take place on 25 and 26 October in Bilbao and at which the international urban strategic thinking awards The Bay Urban Visioning Awards will be launched.
The Bay Urban Visioning Awards aim to become a platform for sharing knowledge, and a connector and showcase of successful urban projects and initiatives. The launch will be held in Bilbao on October 25 and 26, 2023 as part of an international conference – URBAN REVOLUTION Aurrera! – that simply cannot be missed. This event is organized by Bilbao Metropoli 30.
The Bay Awards is a project born from the firm conviction that all cities and regions of the world face similar global challenges and from the awareness that the same thinking that has brought us this far cannot be part of the solution.
We need innovative, disruptive and courageous insights, knowledge and projects that inspire us all to think, plan and act differently. We need to generate spaces of true listening, human interconnection and profound exchange in which the people who participate are present in body, mind and, most importantly, spirit.
The URBAN REVOLUTION Aurrera! international conference and the launch of The Bay Awards premiere offers the opportunity to stop, listen to and exchange with significant people who have a view on the future of cities and metropolises that is elevated above a short-term vortex of immediate events.
The topics of URBAN REVOLUTION Aurrera! include: embedding irreversible transformations that drive systems change; developing trust and conviviality among people; regenerative approaches to the economy and social life; original and disruptive approaches to city development; creative alliances and partnerships that harness the collective imagination of places; inspirational projects or organizations instigated by inspiring younger talents.
