Our world is on the move
We have to face an enormous urbanisation with already a majority of people living in dense urban settlements, and prognosis says that numbers may rise up to 70% of the world’s population living in urban areas by 2050. This growth is fuelled by diverse kinds of migration.
The international student project –in cooperation with the SCUPAD Congress in Salzburg (www.scupad.org) –will focus on the understanding the dynamics, gaps and limitations of human displacement to cities around the world, and especially spatial impacts of displacement at the local level.
We will work on concrete examples in the city of Vienna dealing with topics as affordable housing, public space and urbanisation in an international context and discussed by interdisciplinary groups
Activities will include talks and lectures with planners, social scientists and others and an international design and planning workshop in a chosen area of the city of Vienna.
The workshop takes place from 4th to 10th of may 2017 at TU Vienna Vienna, Austria.
On the schedule are site excursions, and workshop where the students collaborate in teams of 2 or three students to work on project ideas. After the workshop, students have the possibility to follow the SCUPAD congress in Salzburg on similar issues. Some of the workshop results will be represented and discussed there. (participation in the SCUPAD Conference is voluntary).
