WELTSTADT - WHO CREATES THE CITY / GOETHE-INSTITUT

//Cities today are in constant flux, adapting to the many problems they are facing such as migration, mobility, security, social polarization and demographic change. Besides experts, politicians and investors, new actors and groups are answering to these challenges, questioning traditional practices of top-down city planning and development. Against this backdrop, the project Weltstadt – Who creates the city? asks: Who really creates the city today? And who will shape its future? Inspired by these central questions, Weltstadt aims to connect projects initiated by the Goethe-Instituts and their local partners worldwide, which all deal with new forms of local city-making. Weltstadt identifies projects that share a common interest in testing urban visions and are engaged in compiling new constellations of urban actors for a better tomorrow.//
