Transcription

1 SUMMER THINKING CITY SCHOOL BEYOND RESILIENCE SUMMER SCHOOL THINKING CITY is an interdisciplinary programme on city planning and city making, organised by the Foundation Thinking City in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS). AMSTERDAM A group of sixty scientists, planners and designers from all around the world will work for two weeks on specific urban challenges for the city of Amsterdam, in close collaboration with local stakeholders. In the evenings a free public lecture programme will be accommodated in various buildings that make part of Amsterdam s extensive cultural and educational network. This second edition of the programme, themed Beyond Resilience, will explore the capacity of urban systems to not only withstand unexpected changes or even crises, but benefit from them. This question will be addressed through six different case studies, ranging from the topics of urban infrastructure and circular economy to health and the urban environment, from the role of art festivals in the city to the liveability of a tourist hot spot, from the participation of refugees in society to the quality of life of elderly in an urban neighborhood As a result of the programme each studio will create a narrative, about the case study they have worked on, about the themes they addressed, about the future of Amsterdam a story that will draw the attention, open the imagination and mobilise the city for further action JULY
