Curators and urban planners from Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Georgia will share their experiences and practices in developing inclusive social spaces. The panelists will address tangible challenges that Tbilisi is facing, and show principles and cases of solving transportation problems, the urban ecology crisis, and systemic problems such as political rigidity and economic hardships. Additionally, they will discuss the organization of bottom-up initiatives and how this grassroots force can benefit the solution-seeking process. Participants will each prepare a keynote presentation with relevant cases that could be applicable to the local context.
