Public Presentations: New Urban Topologies

Three members of Färgfabriken speak about the urban transformations around the world through political, architecture and social perspectives.

The New Urban Topology is about urban planning, about socio-economic aspects of the city, about inclusive communication between all stakeholders and about infusing art and architecture into the planning and communication process.

NUT Dhaka will put great emphasis on an interplay between city planning, art and architecture and look particularly into the benefits of artistic inputs to urban engineering.

This program consists of a few short presentations on the discussions and workshop outcomes, open for all.

New Urban Topologies was initiated by Färgfabriken Centre for Art, Architecture and Society in Stockholm, Sweden 6 years ago. Färgfabriken is an independent, non-partisan foundation, financed by both the public and private sectors. Since then, the project has been set up in 12 countries in three continents.

Daniel Urey: “The countrysides are a crucial part of modernity, but unfortunately they’re considered as the backstage of modernity. They’re local and global at the same time”

Daniel Urey: “So what to do deal with these challenges? The answer is in #rural epistemology. We wonder is the village still rural? Is the city still #urban? Is the #nature still natural?”
