Coming soon
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.
