Panel Discussion and Keynote by Andrea Paoletti, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm CET
On the first day of the annual meeting we want to determine which instruments and procedures can be used to positively influence and shape the social fabric and quality of life in a city in the sense of "social design". The architect and social designer Andrea Paoletti will give a key-note speech on the inclusive conception of design and talk about humans and social co-existence as the centre of social design in cities.

Panel discussion - SMART CITIES
Panel Discussion and Keynote by Charles Landry, 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm CET
A number of urban development projects around the world have been launched under the term "Smart Cities" in recent years. Behind this are diverse and often widely divergent considerations of how to design a city in such a way that it is as "smart" as possible for a wide variety of tasks. The British researcher, publicist and inventor of the "Creative City Concept" Charles Landry will give a lecture on the second day and talk about the "digitized city".

Panel Discussion and Keynote by Aglaée Degros and Panel Discussion, 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm CET
In view of climate change and the fact that more than half of the world's population already lives in cities that are constantly growing, the organisation and design of cities with their effects on resource consumption are of central importance in overcoming this millennium challenge. Aglaée Degros, architect and professor for urbanism, re-interprets the relation of mobility, landscape and urban development in various research and design projects and will give a lecture on the third day of the Subnetwork Meeting.
