How to design for social ecological cities? 

Saturday 4th of Februar, time 13-16Address: RealSpace, Pursimiehenkatu 13What are social ecological cities and how to design them? This event explores the common goal of designing cities with focus on humanity, society and human relation to nature and the environment.

The speakers of the event will provide different viewpoints of the interdisciplinary intersection of urban design, landscape architecture, sociology, ecology and behavioral sciences and present inspiring case-examples of urban design and placemaking in which the city is first and foremost a place for humanity and an exemplary example of a new environmental balance.
