Cities, Culture and Sustainability
Internationaler Kongress im Rahmen des City Link Festivals am 12. September 2014 an der HCU Hamburg // 10:00 – 19:00 Uhr
Das City Link Netzwerk geht aus einer Kooperation zwischen Aktivist_innen, Künstler_innen, Architekt_innen, Kulturunternehmer_innen, Forscher_innen und weiteren Personen aus Kopenhagen und Hamburg hervor, bei der es um einen Austausch und der Verknüpfung von Ideen und konkreten Projekten einer nachhaltigen und kulturbasierten Stadtentwicklung geht. Am 5. September startet das einwöchige Festival in Hamburg mit einer Reihe von Ausstellungen, Exkursionen, Konzerten, Lesungen und anderen Aktionen von Akteur_innen beider Städte. Am Freitag, den 12. September findet schließlich der Kongress statt, bei der u.a. Sharon Zukin, Professorin der Soziologie am Brooklyn College and Graduate Center der City University of New York, eine Keynote halten wird:
In a changing world of work and confronted with the consequences of climate and demographic changes, policies that strengthen social coherence are needed. On the background of these changes self-organised initiatives are emerging in many cities that already implement sustainable policies on a project level. Within the frame of the City Link Congress „Cities, Culture & Sustainability“ we will present projects from Hamburg and Copenhagen and we will discuss questions like:
How might culture and urban policies strengthen urban societies? How could they contribute to make our cities more sustainable? How could they help to unfold the creativity of urban dwellers in general? What should we learn from urban communities and self-organised initiatives that evolve on the background of social changes? How can we foster such groups and where can we find space for more sustainable projects in our cities?
