Workshop day #3

If yesterday was a day of intense discussions and eyeopeners through the insight from different experts, today was the day of formulating and visualizing our ideas into clear documents and statements.

We formulated a series of questions releated to pictures taken from different parts and people of Gothenburg - like:
- For whom is this city made for? (showing pictures of a white middelclass family, an elderly couple, a group of young immigrants)
- How many stories does Gohenburg consiste of? (showing pictures of different urban situations)
- What if Gothenburg dare to embrace the full amplitude of life?

and finaly leading us to the main question:
- What if Gothenburg dare to be as global as it really is?

A 'Midway critics' was arranged by the Advicery board as a 2 minutes pitch, where Mette was answering 3 questions posed to all the teams in a common forum.

-What are the main drivers?
'The citizens of Gothenburg'

-What do you think should happen in Gothenburg?
'The north should meet south and vice-verse - but first we need to know what and who to connect.'

- What are your key idea(s)?
'Our equation is simple and takes it's fundaments in the 3 three key-words for this workshop:
GREEN - we plant trees and we start monday by doing so, stitching the city together physicly, creating a direct experince for people as well as different biotopes etc.
INCLUSION - the new green areas can be populated and activated on a recreative basis, making up a room for people to meet, a common ground for people from north and south, east and west.
DYNAMICS - when greenary and inclusion has taken place in these 'new' areas along the river, we believe that a great value and significanse has been created. The dynamics of people can develop further and eventually result in housing and other developments and last but not least  in a economic growth.'
