MOBILISING THE PERIPHERY #5: Europe
The fifth and final symposium in the collaborative ANCB – Schindler Transit Management Group project on contemporary urban peripheries worldwide. Partners: The Schindler Transit Management Group, Ebikon
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:Australian Government as part of the cultural initiative Australia now Germany 2017, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin
Unlivable Berlin
The studio addresses the question of how a city expresses its hostilities and how, as architects, can we foster cities of inclusion.
