At Coboi lab we have designed a cycle of conversations about the possibilities of the city of the future: how should post-covid urbanism be? This cycle was presented on May 14 in a conversation with Alessandro Rancati (EU Analyst) and Mayor Lluïsa Moret in which we talked about the New European Bauhaus.
During the month of June, the first part of ciutat[s] possible[s] will take place: two sessions in which we will talk about how to co-design the city with a multi-stakeholder perspective, and new ways of integrating young people into the process.
*Both sessions will be in Spanish with instant translation to English.
Session # 1 Participatory Urbanism
[Friday 06/11: 9.00 am-11.00 am]
During this session we will talk about new ways to transform the city. How do we design urban transformation processes in a participatory way? We will explore participatory urbanism, urban innovation and how to design initiatives to co-create the spaces we inhabit in a collaborative way.
Mauro Gil-Fournier and Ramon Marrades will present projects in which multi-stakeholder collaboration contributes to making the city. Then we will continue with a practical workshop space, facilitated by Holon, in which we will identify the opportunities and obstacles that may exist to carry out a participatory urban planning project.
Speakers:

Session # 2 Co-design with young people
[Friday 06/18 9.00-11.00]
The second session will focus on how to co-design the city with young people. Ramón Marrades from Placemaking Europe will present projects in which young people have integrated their knowledge and interests in the transformation process of spaces.
In this session we identify how young people experience the city, how they influence it and what are the most important elements in co-creation processes with young people.
We also present a digital ethnography carried out by Coboi and Holon in which opinions, interests, concerns and perspectives of young people from Sant Boi are collected in a digital diary format for several days.
