In collaboration with Stefania Gyftopoulou and Panagiotis Tzannetakis
Participants were exposed to a variety of urban actors and practitioners to critically explore the different roles and relationships between local authorities, private entities, grassroots organisations, NGOs, activists, migrants, and refugees. Through city walks, participants examined the effects of the economic crisis on different urban and building types. They familiarised themselves with the geography of both formal and informal responses to the so-called refugee crisis and explored the visible and less visible ways in which the static presence of migrants and refugees altered the urban landscape.
Revealing and reimagining the city’s available urban and housing stock indicated potential room for constructing an inclusive vision of urban transformation. The outcomes of the workshop were presented in a final meeting with summerLab’s partners and local actors.
