I Gällivare, Svappavaara and Umeå, three teams, in close collaboration with municipalities and local communities, have used architecture, art and design as operational tools for how selected locations can be developed into attractive living environments for today's and future residents.
Based on the teams' insights and methods, we look ahead and take the lessons learned further. Participate in the discussion about the living cities and communities of the future through the teams' presentations and in-depth conversations with participating municipalities, authorities and experts.
Warm welcome!
