Lab Talk Series: MOBILISING THE PERIPHERY
Urban peripheries - such as informal cities, barrios and suburbs - are typically perceived to present only great challenges. With this five-part series, ANCB and the Schindler Transit Management Group stimulate new ways of thinking, to question the given preconditions of current development and to initiate a discourse on urban realities at the periphery. Four types of periphery, exemplified by four case studies – Sub-Saharan Africa, Latin America, China and Europe – in connection with participation and social justice are discussed.
Partners: The Schindler Transit Management Group, Ebikon
Borders and Territories. #1 Identity in Place
During the first event of the programme, participants from diverse disciplines engage in discussions to provide an introduction to the ongoing development concerning territories, cultural borders, identities, and geopolitical corridors, sharing insights into their motivation, work, and positions on these matters.

Rural Moves
The revitalisation of rural areas has been neglected for a long time not only in China, but also in Europe and worldwide, and has consequently given rise to big socioeconomic and political challenges. Aedes has identified built examples in Songyang (China) that provide fascinating impulses for the discussion regarding the improvement of rural regions also in Europe.
Partners: The People's Government of Songyang County; Songyang Cultural Bureau; Zhejiang Xinhu Foundation
