How might we reclaim abandoned and unused spaces in the medina and encourage the development of community-based initiatives in a way that can reposition the medina as a future model for sustainable cities?

CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION

This the challenge we set for our Medinas+Sustainability workshop.

We are inviting 25 to 30 city changemakers on a deep-dive to reflect on this major urban challenge and to co-create innovative ideas in response. Participants will be guided through a structured innovation process inspired by the Creation Flow developed by the THNK: School for Creative Leadership.

Join us if you:

  • Are passionate about cities,
  • Enjoy collaboration and innovation,
  • Are interested in joining a regional network of like-minded people,
  • Are looking to set up/take part in a local urban lab, and/or
  • Would like to learn about our structured innovation process.
