Industrial wastelands: tools for cultural innovation and driving forces for territorial development.

Speakers : Bertram Schultze (Baumwollspinnerei I DE) / Mykhailo Glubokyi (Izolyatsia I UA) / Stuba Nikula (Cable Factory I FI)

Moderation : Annette Wolfsberger (Sonic Acts I NL)

Over the past few years, there has been strong redevelopment of industrial areas transforming them into cultural spaces in a number of European countries. Some of the most well-known initiatives include La Belle de Mai in Marseille and La Tabacalera in Madrid. These places have revitalised the heritage of their city through culture and contribute to the development of the local artistic and cultural scene. Some initiatives go far beyond that. Cultural enterprise and gallery incubators, cultural event venues and education (collaborating with schools and universities), places for debate and social life and commercial areas, these renewed wastelands have become eco-systems for innovation. The European Lab has invited three Europeans involved in innovative cultural sites to present their project, strategies and views.

From “smart city’ to “smart citizen”: perspectives for three “smart” European cities

Speakers : Joan Battle Montserrat (Institute of Culture of Barcelona & Smart City Board of Bacelona City Council) / Karine Dognin-Sauze (City of Lyon)

Moderation : Timothée David (Rhône-Alpes Automotive Cluster)

By representing their function and infrastructure through digital data and tools the european cities are remodelling access to resources, transport, energy consumption, waste management and links between citizens. Over time, the concept of “smart cities” evolved. Formerly mostly considering technology as tool for local development, the concept is progressively focussing on service improvements and the role of “smart citizens”. The European Lab has invited two European cities to present their strategy for a smart city and discuss the obstacles, failures, successes and new perspectives they faced
