The second edition, "urban actions | spatial utopias", our focus will be on the spatial effects of digital spaces. The immersive design of public spaces and, in particular, the overlapping of virtual and physical space will take central stage.
The festival will explore what digital spatial utopias can be - visions in which smart city concepts and vertical cities not only enable technical innovations, but also the transformation of urban living spaces into healthy, sustainable and democratic ecosystems.
How can we make the city more people friendly and at the same time meet the challenges of global dominance and digital colonisation by technology companies as well as utopias that have already been realised, such as in Abu Dhabi or artificial island projects?
With an approach that distinguishes between reconstruction and construction, the festival focuses on initiatives that spotlight healthy living spaces. What actions are already taking place today and what visions and utopias characterise the discourse on our living spaces?
