UrbanUtopia
Organized by Todellisuuden tutkimuskeskus
UrbanUtopia on Todellisuuden tutkimuskeskuksen alulle panema yhteistyöprojekti, joka lähestyy kaupunkiympäristöä utooppisesta näkökulmasta ja kysyy, mitä se voisi parhaimmillaan olla. Kutsumme kaupunkilaiset sekä kaupunkiympäristön parissa työskentelevät suunnittelijat, asiantuntijat ja taiteilijat yhteiseen prosessiin, jossa etsitään uusia tapoja lähestyä kaupunkia ja sen tulevaisuutta. Käytännössä UrbanUtopia koostuu kaikille avoimista tapaamisista ja tapahtumista. Tapaamisissa keräämme kaupunkilaisten utooppisia visioita ja kehitämme tapoja toteuttaa niitä; tapahtumissa kokeilemme visioiden ja toiveiden toteuttamista eri keinoin. Maaliskuun tapahtumaviikolla otamme ensimmäisiä askeleita kohti utopioiden muuttamista todeksi.
UrbanUtopia is an open project initiated by Reality Research Center. The project approaches the urban environment from a utopian point of view, asking what it could be, if anything was possible. We invite You to join in a shared process with a group of designers, planners, researchers and artists: together, we will be looking for new ways of building our city and turning our visions into a lived reality. UrbanUtopia consists of meetings and events that are open to anyone and everyone. In the meetings, we collect ideas and visions and think of ways to put them into practice; in the events, we set out to try the ideas out and turn them into a reality. During the first event week, we will be taking small steps that will gradually lead towards bigger changes.
Interest/passion/motivation
Through this project, we hope to encourage people to look at the urban environment and their way of living in it from a utopian point of view. The idea is to create dialogue between different user groups, from citizens to professionals and researches, and to create and share fresh ideas about what the city could be. In the next two years, we will hopefully set up an alternative planning process and turn some of the utopian visions into a lived and shared reality.
Impact
We hope to create new forms of encounter and communication between people that do not usually meet. Through a shared process, the groups will hopefully learn more about each other's hopes, needs and ways of working. Also, we wish to give people the possibility to go beyond the daily routines and conventional perspectives that keep us from participating in the creation of urban space.
Audience
We welcome participants from all fields and walks of life. The working group is open to everyone who is interested in the future of our city and the urban environment in general. Also, we need people to make things happen and to organize different events throughout the year.
