What is the “Nordic view” in developing cities? What values are common to cities in the Nordics, Baltics and Northern Europe? What kind of experiences and learnings could be shared over borders – and why cross-border actions are needed now?
15–19 Sept Nordic CityMaking Week
Helsinki & Vantaa
Nordic CityMaking Week builds around these questions – a new city developing event held 15–19 September in Helsinki and Vantaa. The event is a kickstart to a movement that aims to reinforce Nordic view in international conversations on sustainable, attractive and democrative cities and increase interaction between Nordics, Baltics and Northern European city developers.
