Iniziativa coerente con gli obiettivi del #NewEuropeanBauhaus del Politecnico di Milano
Ciclo di seminari “Cities in action for the New European Bauhaus: Leveraging on culture and arts”

The seminar series “Cities in Action for the New European Bauhaus: Leveraging on culture and arts” invites researchers, artists, and social innovators from across Europe to explore the key concepts that, in the new European Bauhaus framework, provide a direction to urban sustainability transition trajectories.

What is a city’s aesthetics, and how does it affect the urban experience? How can the sustainability imperative be translated into actions on the ground? What makes a neighbourhood inclusive and accessible for all? And more: What is the role and meaning of cultural practices in the journey of cities towards high-quality, climate-neutral and socially inclusive futures?

Given the urgency to create novel alliances and conceptual blueprints across both mission-oriented research and advanced practices on the ground, the seminar series encourages discussion across professional and disciplinary perspectives.

The second seminar of the series explores the potential generative capacity of cultural actions in driving (urban) change towards people and nature positive futures.
