you prmomised me a city:
Experimental Urban Design Conference 10-11.06.2022
You promised me a City
is answer and task; is the linking of fields and questions, is research and demand; is celebration, an uproar, it’s a feast. For this we invite you in June 2022, in the heart of Hannover - the mediocre center - which should be our starting point for a real, honest and blatant dispute about the city.
In our view, the consensus culture that is all too often experienced and practiced at professional conferences, between pump coffee and tarnished cheese rolls, leads not only to programmatic boredom, but also to a problematic narrowing of discourse.
We believe that only actual confrontation, friction and debate can expand spaces of thought and discourse. Only those who move out of their own comfort zone will also discover new terrain.
This is exactly what you promised me a city is about: the creation of productive dissonances. Built and social spaces, the imagined and the made city, responsibilities, contexts and future - that's what we want to argue about. Coming from different perspectives and disciplines.
Architects, scientists, activists, artists, planners, investors and citizens will meet with their positions in order to negotiate them with each other instead of dealing with them one after the other. And afterwards, of course, we will celebrate together - that's the only thing we agree on in advance!
