All Things Urban

The capacity of public space to attract and retain talent, to facilitate networking, and to stimulate the successful exchange of knowledge and ideas is becoming increasingly recognized. Yet, there is a need to determine the key characteristics of space that can leverage this experimental co-creation and co-production in the context of the modern innovation hub.

This is why we organized Placemaking for Innovation - a co-creation event which seeks to gather the best and brightest in urban planning, placemaking and innovation in order to assess and define the role of place in stimulating new and higher levels of connectivity, collaboration and innovation among individuals, firms and institutions.

People with experience in placemaking, urban planning, design, architecture, data analysis, economic development, innovation and technology, sustainability, communication, and/or living labs.

Accepted applicants will be expected to:

• Attend all scheduled sessions of the event,
• Contribute actively and meaningfully to the conversation during the individual sessions,
• Share information about the event through any preferred social media outlet (eg. Twitter, Facebook,
  etc.),
• Write at least one blog post (minimum 500 words) to be published on La Marina Living Lab blog. The post should address one of the topics discussed during the workshop.

La Marina Living Lab is an urban laboratory, which seeks to engage the citizens in the transformation of La Marina de València, the historic harbour of the city of València, now turned into a million square meters of public space open to innovation and nautical activity.
