Urban Transformation through Art and Culture
Urban Transformation through Art and Culture
Urban Transformation through Art and Culture
The Urban Lab happening in February 2020 wanted to raise the question how administration can adapt to these challenges. What type of bureaucracy will be needed in the future to enable creativity to unfold? The core role of artists and artistic processes in triggering creativity was highlighted, and the importance for creativity in developing transformative pathways. Although looking at a specific example, the workshop had the intension to enable participants to follow-up on the exercises in their own local contexts.
What is a sustainable City, and how to pursue its implementation? This 2-day Urban Lab will explore what creativities - individual, organizational and city-wide are needed for aligning a sustainable city making. It will highlight the power of cultural resources for changing the planning paradigm in city making. How to foster sustainable cities in general, and as a specific example the potential for using a creative city strategy for Kiel will be explored. This relates directly to the challenges of implementing the international goals of the SDGs as well as the opportunities through the new urban agenda.
Participation is free. Registration until: 20th of February.
What kind of administration does a liveable city need (which implements the SDGs)? Do we need a new way of (governing) collabo- ration in administration to tackle today’s/to- morrows problems? How could this look like?

will look at how well the City of Kiel functions and explore what kinds of creativities are needed to implement its strategic goals. The contradiction of the term „creative bureaucracy“ will be unravelled. The aim is to assess how well Kiel is doing in the context of the 5 principles expressed in its 2042 vision and its intention to fulfil the 17 UN‘s SDG goals. This demands creativity and imagination and we will assess Kiel across a number of criteria.
will focus on strategic goal setting and planning – from vision to implementation. The aim is to practically show how to deduce the SDGs in a manner, that they lead to clear strategic goals (as an example for the City of Kiel).
