Kaupunkielämää/City Living – Living as a Service (Partly in English)
Digitalisation expands to all aspects of living, working and leisure time, so what is a city as a service? Traffic has become mobility and housing is becoming living. Mobility as a service reforms traffic in cities, while an even bigger change is coming as housing becomes living as a service.

Communities and co-housing (Partly in English)
Co-housing has lately attracted more interest in Finland. Communal housing schemes offer solutions to challenges such as care, time management, loneliness and employment opportunities. Not all facilities for everyday functions need to be located inside individual flats. Meeting facilities, saunas, gyms, laundry rooms and even home theatres and workshops could all be shared by residents. This also saves money as it is possible to produce better facilities at lower costs per square metre than could be done if everyone had their own facilities.
The quantity and quality of the facilities vary in different spaces, as does the level of communality. Even if people are more interested in community-based housing solutions, the current basic housing structures seldom provide this option. Joint building ventures have been a way to produce more resident-oriented, community-based housing options. The loft conversion concept also offers promising alternatives.
The aim of this expert seminar is to discuss communal housing solutions and experiences, to reflect on solutions for the future and possibly also to brainstorm new projects. The speakers and participants in the discussions include researchers of housing, leaders of joint building ventures, financiers, construction company representatives, planners and architects. The keynote speakers come from Central Europe: Architect Otto Höller from Vienna and Architect Oliver Scheifinger from Berlin. They are the head designers and partners at Taftakoo Architects.

Dwellers in Agile Cities research project (Academy of Finland, Strategic Research Council project)
The Dwellers in Agile Cities project explores urban development from the residents’ perspective. The basic idea is that residents should be seen as prime movers behind urban development. They are experts of their own lives, and cities will be better places when residents are engaged in urban development. The Enabling City subproject studies resident-driven solutions for housing, working and use of urban spaces.

Sustainable Urban Development – Kestävä kaupunkikehitys (Part 1 is in English)
More than half of the world’s population already live in cities. According to forecasts, the population in cities will increase by 3 billion people over the next 40 years. Urbanisation is a huge challenge. How can we ensure there is food, power, water and other natural resources for everyone? How can cities be made low-carbon or even carbon-neutral? How can they grow without damaging the ecosystems that are vital to the health of both humans and the environment?
In April 2017, the Finnish government decided to launch a five-year national programme for sustainable urban development. The programme is inspired by other programmes such as the New Urban Agenda approved by the UN in 2016, the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals as well as the Urban Agenda for the EU. The programme’s implementation is being coordinated by the Ministry of the Environment in collaboration with cities and municipalities, and other partners invited to join the project include businesses, universities and civic society actors. The programme relies on experiential processes such as tangible pilot projects.
The Ministry of the Environment has prepared a sustainable urban development programme in collaboration with cities and other partners. The purpose of the programme is to collect and create models to solve the challenges of sustainable urban development that are accessible to all cities. The event, to be held in Jätkäsaari, will feature renowned speakers from both Finland and abroad as well as brainstorming and networking opportunities.
