Conference the 17:th of March - Redevelopment culture in practice
The ASSURE research school, in collaboration with the geographical transition lab in Nyhamnen, is organising a conference focusing on redevelopment culture. The transition lab is investigating how we can build the sustainable city of the future using what we already have, and consists of actors such as Malmö City Council and LFM30.
Within the ASSURE research school, we have for more than two years explored how converting and refurbishing existing buildings, and giving them new uses, can make the built environment even more sustainable and environmentally friendly. Malmö City is asking the same question in the Nyhamnen Transition Lab, a geographically based transition lab within the national Shift Sweden program.
The Transition Lab is linked to the development of the Nyhamnen district, which is facing a major transformation that will take place over a long period of time. The area, previously an industrial and port zone, will be developed into an attractive and sustainable urban district in a prime location, combining housing and workplaces, retail, and services. In the Nyhamnen Transition Lab, Malmö City is testing new ways of developing the city, starting from what already exists in the area.
Within the research school, we have for more than two years explored these questions from a scientific perspective. Now it is time to connect this work with ongoing urban development. On 17 March, the research school will host a joint conference at Malmö University together with the Nyhamnen Transition Lab. This will be an opportunity for practice to meet research, combining scientific knowledge development with practical innovation work.
