To set the topic for the sketchcity studyweek four guest lecturers from Rotterdam University came to Switzerland in early April 2017. They conveyed the students the topic of the resilient city and the sustainable city. We learned that the word „sustainable“ is overused. Everybody uses it nowadays.

So the word resilient is the new sustainable.

But it is not only this, it is as well that we are now sure that we really will face some – in some regions even heavy problems. But the good news is, that if we care early we will be prepared for the upcoming problems.

So let’s take the challenge and lets sketch ideas for the future resilient, sustainable and liveable city.

Here are some impressions from the guest lecture at University of applied Science Berne.

 

Here are the links – sorry only via Moodle for our students in Switzerland – with the fully fleshed content of the guest lecture.
