About the story

PlaceCity Symposium

Placemaking as a tool for urban regeneration

In early July 2020 the PlaceCity Symposium explored the potential of placemaking as a tool for urban regeneration. Especially, in times of COVID-19, we were asking how we can extend public spaces in need to enjoy our cities better. Does placemaking as a tool contribute towards a more caring and resilient urban future? The PlaceCity Symposium spanned two online days, June 30th from 14 – 16 CEST and July 1st from 14 -16 CEST, and an exciting "offline" explorative walk on July 2nd.

International contributions

Together with international placemakers, planners, civil servants, city administrations, among others, we showcased and contextualized local placemaking projects, including PlaceCity Oslo and Vienna.

The speakers of the first symposia day were:

Brigitte Felderer, Social Design, University of Applied Arts, Vienna

Brigitte Vettori, space and place Vienna

Lisa Reimitz-Wachberger, Raumpioniere Vienna

Anna Bradley, Placemaking Europe Rotterdam

Chiara Lucchini, Torino Urban Lab

Hans Karssenberg, STIPO Rotterdam, The City Makers Fund

Angelika Winkler, City of Vienna

Leo Rygnestad, City of Oslo

Marta Silva, Largo Residências Lisbon

Hajir Kheder, The Means London

Bahanur Nasya/Eutropian in Vienna and Roland Krebs/Superwien Urbanism in Vienna moderated the lively discussion.
