Just City Workshop 2: Helsinki
Following a successful workshop in Newcastle in May 2023, Centre for Researching Cities joined a follow up two-day workshop (21-22 May 2024) to continue its partnership building with the Institute of Urban and Regional Studies (University of Helsinki) and Living+ network (Aalto University).
Participants explored potential pathways for future collaborations on urban research and education, including the development of proposals for:
- A co-produced book
- A conference track for the 2026 World Planning Congress in Helsinki
- Newcastle teaching collaboration related to the joint Helsinki-Aalto MSc Programme on Urban Studies and Planning.
Newcastle colleagues also took part in an informative and inspiring visit to new urban development initiatives by municipalities and local communities in Kalasatama / Suvilahti, Kontula, and Myllypuro in east Helsinki.
