Workshop bei Creative Bureaucracy Festival

Thomas Stellmach hält einen Workshop zum Thema Smart City Governance for Future

Kann Bürokratie kreativ und innovativ sein? Überholte Strukturen lassen oft keinen Raum für Veränderungen. Das Creative Bureaucracy Festival schafft einen Raum, um aktuelle Kämpfe zu diskutieren und neue Wege aufzuzeigen.

„Das Creative Bureaucracy Festival würdigt herausragende Innovationen im öffentlichen Sektor und deren Beitrag zu einer besseren, nachhaltigeren und gerechteren Welt. Es bringt Bürokraten und ihre Verbündeten zusammen – diejenigen, die auf allen Regierungsebenen für das Gemeinwohl kämpfen und etwas bewirken.“

TSPA-Gründer Thomas Stellmach, der als Beiratsmitglied aktiv an der Entwicklung der Smart City Strategie für Berlin beteiligt ist, wird heute um 16:00 Uhr einen Workshop zum Thema Smart City Governance for Future halten.

Earlier this year, TSPA team started a new project – CityScan. An initiative for data-driven urbanism. We presented its first analysis at the Greentech Festival where we shared how the principles of sustainable urban planning combined with data can support the future of mobility planning.

MakeCity.Berlin – is an international festival for architecture and urbanism. It is a platform to  initiate changes for a better urban development in Berlin. This year, along the list of many other interesting practices and institutions from Berlin, TSPA became a funding partner of MakeCity.Berlin. It was a great opportunity to become more involved in the urban planning scene in the German capital and connect with experts, who are equally passionate about new discourses and opportunities of the city.

Additionally to the sponsoring role, out team had a unique chance to develop and propose a new project Impuls.berlin. Together with a great team of external experts, TSPA helped to develop an idea for a new knowledge and expertise sharing platform. Impulse.berlin aims to create an ecosystem where urban actors have the time and space to think and create a good city“. To find out more information about the project, click here.

Urbanfest – forum of lively cities

A few days ago, Thomas traveled to Izhevsk (Russia) to take part in UrbanFest – forum of lively cities. This year the festival gathered delegates from 45 cities across Russia and abroad – urbanists, politicians, businessmen, activists and citizens. Community leaders shared their experience, explored new tools for integrated territorial development and got inspired to create a network of „lively cities“ in Russia.
Together with Kees Donkers, Thomas was part of a panel on „Urban planning international experiences applicable to Russia“ and led the workshop „International Urban Lab“.
As part of the forum’s programme, TSPA also presented its concept for the development of a new neighborhood in Naberezhnye Chelny to the public. Extending this concept, Thomas discussed constraints of urban planning in Russia and the aspect of possible urban drivers for retaining and attracting young people to the city together with Novaya Zemlya.

Keynote at Open School for Urban Exchange, Krasnoyarsk

He will address questions of ownership of public space, degrees of freedom, privatisation and other challenges of current urban development and how design can encourage participative and diverse use of the the city by the communities.
