We’re hope to see and hear you there, at the festival that we all co-create together! The city is super involved and very keen to use the Placemaking Week for the benefit of its citizens. Some themes where Reggio Emilia asks your inspiration and sharing of new approaches: 1 - inspiration on meanwhile use for empty shops and residential blocks in the historic centre 2 - inspiration on reinventing the city centre as a civic place more permanently, a place to be, and not only a place to buy 3 - to keep young jobs and housing formulas that will keep talents in the city 4 - new mobility concepts both short and long term to connect the south where everyone lives with the north where everyone works and where the train stations are 5 - to take the lessons of the world famous Reggio Emilia education model outdoors and create playful and child friendly public spaces 6 - strategies to create better public spaces in the lower income neighbourhoods around the city centre, build social places around the great community centres, cocreate with the community and get rid of all the asphalt 7 - inspiration to make the city greener and softer for climate adaptation, keep the streets comfortable for people to use with more rain and hotter summers. Go straight to the open call to fill out your ideas for workshops, street activations, creative ideas to share your experience on the themes: https://lnkd.in/esNwkgBj.
