Ruralism. The Future of Villages and Small Towns in an Urbanizing World
Bookshop Pro qm
Almstadtstraße 48-50
10119 Berlin
Rural spaces are transforming radically. The once remote countryside is now traversed by global and regional flows of people, goods, waste, energy, and information, linking it to urban systems. At the same time depopulation and economic decline are shaping it. International experts from theory and praxis will discuss these tendencies in a conversation. What role do villages and small towns have in an urbanizing world? Which potentials and challenges are brought forth by these transformations? And how can we design sustainable urban-rural-relations?
Come and join us to talk about these issues and create a (new) vision of the rural.
Discussion with:
Prof. Dr. Vanessa Miriam Carlow (Institute for Sustainable Urbanism, TU Braunschweig)
Doris Kleilein (Bauwelt)
Dirk Neumann (Institute for Sustainable Urbanism, TU Braunschweig)
Prof. Christiane Sörensen (Landscape Architecture, HCU Hamburg)
Prof. Dr. Eckart Voigts (English Seminary, Literary and Cultural Studies, TU Braunschweig)
