Reclaiming Hope!

As part of the “By Design and by Disaster” conference at the Faculty of Design and Arts at the University of Bozen-Bolzano, the session titled “Hope – Reclaiming the Future” explored the principle of hope from a variety of perspectives. It’s wonderful that our call to action from the Positive Cities project couldn’t have been more fitting: We must create hope! To this end, Sebastian Schlecht was able to once again present the concept of positive cities and the constructive definition of hope. Following the kickoff at the Rotterdam International Architecture Biennale “Nature of Hope,” this was a fitting conclusion – no, it remains a new beginning! Thank you to Bolzano for this wonderful exchange.
