Näkökulmia asumiseen: Kaupunki palkkatyön jälkeen (Ara-päivät)Demos Helsinki
Ihmiseen ja kaupunkiin molempiin vaikuttaa suuresti työ. Nyt työn toiminta on suuressa ja nopeassa murroksessa: automatisaatio, robotisaatio, tekoäly, globaali kilpailu ja muut suuret muutostekijät vaikuttavat siihen, miten kaupunki kannattaa järjestää. Teollisuuskaupungin ja kampuskaupungin seuraaja saattaa olla kohtaamisten kaupunki: paikka, jossa erilaiset ihmiset löytävät vuorovaikutukseen keskenään ja luovat hyvinvointia ja vaurautta myös muille. Tässä esityksessä on kaksi Demos Helsingin toteuttamaa case-esimerkkiä, joilla kohtaamisia on haluttu lisätä kaupunkiympäristössä.
Nurmi - Peloton Smart Retro Testing Phase PitchDemos Helsinki
Nurmi creates clothes and accessories where the nordic tradition of minimalism and long-lasting design goes hand in hand with true sustainability. The straightforward yet functional design of Nurmi garments form the cornerstones of a wardrobe. The key factors for Nurmi are sustainability and openness. All products are ecological and ethical throughout the whole life cycle and the whole production process is transparent: http://www.nurmiclothing.com/about

1. Preface
It is dawning on many of us that the current pace and direction of society is difficult to keep up for very long. When in the post-world-war period the pursuit of (individual) achievement seemed the key force of collective development, now the nature of the achievement is very much at the heart of our concerns. Sharing and respecting the environment, be it social, capital or natural, must now regain a central position in community management. Simultaneously the means available for this common task are more and more distributed. More than ever must one ask what one can do for the community, rather than what the community can do for us.
If this project can establish the relevance of the multidisciplinary approach to global sustainability, it will be succesful. All participants, and all of their partners, will be dealing with our subject hands on. This means, once again, to break out of conventional silos so that professionals with different expertise can share insights and work side by side for the common goal.
Once the individual participants of the project recognise the shared motivation, the matter can be improved, embodied and disseminated - through the work in progress and the distribution of the results. Everyone will have the occasion to relay the subject in new links with organisations and city councils on local level, bringing together the actors within a common framework. The nature of 'change management' will need the implication of key-stake-holders on a regional level. Developping and distributing tested contents will convince captains of governance and industry to support the agents of the new models. The rich and diverse context of european culture will be a favourable background for innovating community-management with the resilience of a hybrid multi-faceted approach. When we come out with a 'best-practice'-based toolbox, developed on field work, we will be ready to share the expertise, and promote this complementary and crucial frame of innovation.

Organisations from five European countries have joined forces on a three year journey to share existing know-how and explore new practices related to coworking ecosystems. However, as with every journey, the project began with a period of reflection and preparation, an opportunity to learn new work languages, structures and methods: “Where have we come from?”, “Where are we going?”, “What should be taken forward?”. In addition there were specific questions and discussions on the meanings behind our coworking ecosystems themes, namely multidisciplinary coworking, local partnerships, ecological transition, participatory governance and social entrepreneurship. This report provides the history of our preparation for constructing a coworking toolbox. It focuses on the wealth of local background material unearthed by the partners and, by identifying the most relevant points, helps explain how the map to guide our journey began to take shape.
The information you are about to discover will help explain why we believe that coworking and the creation of multidisciplinary creative clusters (also known as ecosystems or the Third Place) provide an innovative approach for European entrepreneurs and professionals to work collaboratively through improved communication and networking, in order to create new economic opportunities and benefit society.

« A Coworking space is a physical space aiming to build and implement a dynamic community of members sharing common attitudes towards independent work, and in particular the will to develop exchanges and to widen skills and job opportunities by meeting other people having the same attitudes. Coworking spaces are actively managed to promote these goals, also by organising events and activities supporting mutual learning and exchanges »

This brochure describes the new type of civic lead urban development of these re:Kreators.
1. We believe in a way of living in the city that is interesting, affordable and just. We create thoughtful places with care. We create values: money, social, welfare and artistic.
2. We generate diverse ownership - mentally, emotionally and legally; diverse groups feel at home in and feel ownership over our places.
3. We Create places that lift everyone’s spirits, and drive people beyond what they would normally come across. Our places are open, inclusive and brilliant.
4. We Look for true change. We are not interested in just pop-up, get people’s hopes up and leave. We use the existing energy, build on existing quality, structures and re:kreate by smooth transition.
5. We take a step beyond bottom-up or top-down: we build partnerships between these worlds.

La Fondazione Innovazione Urbana (Fundación Innovación Urbana) es un organismo creado por la ciudad de Bologna en estrecha colaboración con la Universidad como estructura-puente entre el Ayuntamiento y la ciudadanía.
Nace para responder al reto de diseñar nuevas formas de creación de políticas públicas. La Fondazione tiene tres líneas de trabajo principales: la Oficina de Imaginación Cívica (con la misión de activar procesos de escucha, colaboración, participación y co-diseño de proyectos y políticas públicas de la ciudad); la construcción del relato colectivo de la ciudad sobre sí misma (a través del Urban Center); el análisis y la visualización de los datos puestos a disposición por la revolución digital sobre las transformaciones urbanas (a través de Cartografare il presente).
Civic Factory Fest is an event that promotes learning, reflection and action around new forms of collaborative design and civic innovation, with the aim of promoting new opportunities for dialogue and collaboration between citizens, public administration, university and the private sector.

11. New ”project” of the new urban is
needed.
The previous project felt good.
It was about the prosperity and well-being
of the nation, individuals,
communities, economy, companies...
The new urban needs to feel as good
and be about all those things.
But in a different world by different
means, ways and natural resources.
12. THE URBAN NOW
More than half of the buildings of 2050 are already
built. A great part of those buildings faces large-scale
renovations in near future.
But buildings are not enough:
”If everybody lived like in Hammarby Sjöstad [an
new area famous for sustainable building], it would
be an ecological catastrophe.”
– Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden
13. MANY INTERLINKED ISSUES
”We need investments for major renovations of the building stock.
At the same time, retail space keeps emptying.” – City of Lahti
”We want services that stay in the areas and improve them.”
– a public housing company and developer
”Less and less people walk in through the supermarkets’ doors. We need to
come up with new ways to serve customers.” – a retailer
”We have models to develop single buildings.
But we need shared concepts to develop areas with different stakeholders.”
– a construction company
We would need people, companies or public actors to test our service with
us to proof it really works. But getting pilots running is really hard.
– a startup developing a sharing service

There is an urgent need for rethinking refurbishment projects and
sustainable service models. In the areas built in the mid 20th century,
where many of the buildings are due to refurbishment and where local
retail and service availability is declining, there is
– potential to address sustainable lifestyle changes and revitalisation
of local retail and service economies.
Through including also the service environment in refurbishment
projects, the sustainability of these neighbourhoods can be increased in
terms of energy and resource performance, viability, sense of belonging
and attractiveness.

Oslo case takes place in
Kvadraturen, a central area is
very rundown but with
historical value.
Lahti case takes place in
downtown area, that has
emptied from services and
offices and where most built
stock is in need of
refurbishment. There will be a
dedicated site for Innovation
Camps of the project that is a
city owned large property
undergoing development and
refurbishment in the coming
years. It serves as an intense
working ground of the new
services and companies during
the project.

17. + startups, local entrepreneurs,
urban activists & residents
Smart Retro project is
• a prototype of a co-design process for smart, sustainable and
attractive urban services and areas between city authorities,
companies, startups, residents and citizen groups
• a service development process for actual services provided by
start-ups and more established companies
• an exercise of foresight combining global drivers with local
context and business models
18. MODEL & SCALE
Concept a new
business model for
refurbishment through
innovative
regeneration.
Plan to move and
multiply the
sustainable lifestyles
service coalition and
new model to a new
site.
CO-DESIGN
Companies, startups,
residents, municipal
actors and other
stakeholders develop
the services together
first on innovation
camp, and then test
them in the daily lives
of the test areas.
IDENTIFY best
practices, models and
close-to-market
consumer services,
startups and citizen
initiatives in the Nordic
Countries enabling
sustainable lifestyles.
Identify special qualities,
needs and wishes of the
areas. Analyze Nordic
refurbishment models.

that depict alternative
futures of built
environmental
evolution, lifestyle
transitions and local
service economy and
communicate
commercial and
sustainability potential
of services.
HOW?
19. SMART RETRO SEES
...renovations as an opportunity for improving quality of life
instead of mere technological improvements
...smart city retrofitted, not newly built
...sustainable urban services seen as an opportunity to
upscale the value of old neighbourhoods
...startup acceleration as well as the new wave of citizen
activity as catalyst for services and solutions of the future
…new alliances (city, construction industry, real estate, retail,
startups, inhabitants, citizen groups) and attitude of co-design
as a tool for urban transitions
...retrofitting as a fruitful new business opportunity for
construction companies, real estate and retail
20. What it means for you as designers?
Applying the designer’s tool kit of
service design etc. in built
environment and the life in it.
”Will a young person use 3000 € for a
design couch or a trip around the
world?
I want to see designers take part in
designing the trips around the world.”
And better and smarter everyday life.
21. Issue 2: Power of groups

22. Other people define what we
consider normal.
How we eat, live and dress?
How we behave in a student building?
How much energy we use compared to our
neighbours?
23. Groups improve our wellbeing: we feel
useful, competent and needed
Examples:, Time Banks, Volunteering, Elderly Care
24. According to behaviour change research,
groups are utterly important when
changing behaviour.
Groups support us when engaging in
something new.
Examples: North Karelia Project &
Restaurant Day

43. What it means for you as designers?
Working WITH people. People as not mere
informants but partners.
A perception of people not based on
stereotypes but research.
Creating people-public-private-partnerships.

Source: Rolling Stone Magazine, July 2011
45. “New math of climate change”
• 2 degrees of celsius temperature rise
is what we can handle
• 565 gigatons of carbon dioxide is
what we can emit
• 2795 gigatons of carbon dioxide is
what there is in the assets of the
energy companies
• Read: Carbon Tracker’s Unburnable carbon report and
Global warming’s terrifying new math by Bill McKibben
46. “’We’re not going to be able to
burn it all.’
With those 10 words, Barack
Obama uttered one of the most
stunning, far-reaching statements
ever made by a U.S. president. He
also completely contradicted his
own energy policy. Yet no one
seemed to notice.”
(Businessweek 26 Jun 2014)
47. Fossil fuel reserves represent
trillions of dollars of wealth, both
on the balance sheets of
companies and in the asset
valuations that inform investors
the world over.
Being unable to sell most of those
reserves would translate into a
massive markdown on this
wealth, $28 trillion according to
one estimate. (Businessweek 26
Jun 2014)
48. Well, who would oppose that?
You, too.
Because it’s your pension at
stake.
49. What it means for you as
designers?
You need to understand the systems
level, study how it works, interwines
and by what means and tools of can
be changed.
You will work with very different
kinds of partners, environments and
professionals from policy makers and
civil servants to business that come
from different backgrounds.
E.g. Design for government.

53. ”The intro makes the students to understand the shift in the study
objectives from undergraduate to master studies with a changing
emphasis from form to content, from product to process, from
design along a brief to designing briefs, from single discipline to
multidisciplinary and from knowledge reception and digestion to
active competence acquisition and generation.
The intro introduces existing and emerging design practices
driven by contemporary societal challenges.”
To succeed in this and to solve any
wicked problem,
you need stronger research
understanding and skills.
