Urban Transitions & Transformations Workshop – matchmaking at SLU in Alnarp

Contemporary theories on urban transition and transformation were presented as were overviews of the research field and experiences from practice. Four Swedish projects were presented and discussed: Mo-Bo by Anna Sundman from TIP Architects, Sharing Embassy by Katja Holst from Wingårdhs Architects, Brunnshög by Christian Wilke from the City of Lund and Sege Park by Johan Pitura from Kjellander Sjöberg Architects and  Oscar Pelin from the City of Malmö.

Two workshop sessions resulted in identified “transformation edges” and knowledge gaps in terms of space and materialization of policy, (urban) norms and intersectionality, the need for a safe space for experiments and collective learning. Continuing collaboration is expected through the STRN-network and The Think Tank Movium's partnership with practitioners.
