To meet the challenges we face as a profession, as a sector and as people, we need to find new practices and approaches. We don't know what the future will bring, but we do know that the way we have built and created our living environments so far no longer works. That's why we are working on research, development and innovation in partnership with other stakeholders. Together, we are exploring the practice of tomorrow.
Within ShiftSweden, we are exploring new ways of working to transform a centrally located industrial area into a mixed-use district with a focus on sustainable mobility and a circular society. We are working together with key stakeholders to create a method based on foresight, dialog and co-creation. In collaboration with Kalmar Municipality, Beyond Tomorrow and Svendborg Architects. With funding from Vinnova within the program ShiftSweden.
