The workshop takes place in Helsinki, the capital of
Finland, which as a rapidly growing area, is facing similar challenges
concerning sustainability as other European metropolitans. The
agenda of the workshop
is formed by presentations, discussion
and study visits. The topics cover issues such as traffic,
living, accessibility, energy etc., not forgetting the
grass root
level activity within all this. The special interests of the
participants are taken into account while building the agenda. The most important is that the participants can share
their ambitions, ideas
and experiences concerning sustainable urban planning. The
purpose is to form a network of activists who will stay in
contact with
each other also after the workshop. So, besides of their own contribution, everybody will get a bag of new ideas and contacts to bring back home!
