ThinkSustainability Dialogue: Shaping the Cities of Tomorrow
How can we build cities that are not only vibrant and innovative, but also deeply sustainable? Join us for a compelling panel discussion that brings together a diverse group of thought leaders—from policymakers and academics to industry experts and youth innovators—to explore this very question.
As a prelude to the upcoming EcoHackathon Nordics in 2026, this event will focus on how we can use new approaches and technologies to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and create a more resilient future for Nordic cities. Speakers and participants are encouraged to present the projects and ventures that they have been part of in this field.
We will explore three critical areas:
Urban Green Spaces & Infrastructure: We'll explore innovative ways to monitor and improve the health of our city's natural environments, from the air we breathe to the biodiversity around us.
Public Participation and co-creation: How can we engage citizens in producing information about the urban environment and engage them in sustainable city development. How public access tools like open source tools and foundation models can be used by the wider public to generate public tools for sustainability?
We'll also examine how artificial intelligence and open-access tools can be used by the public sector, businesses and civic society to develop solutions for sustainable cities,fostering greater public participation and helping to co-create sustainable solutions.
Join us and be a part of the movement toward smarter, more sustainable urban living.
