TRACK A: Co-developing Myllypuro Campus (Workshop + Walking Tour)
In this co-creation workshop participants are challenged to brainstorm and develop ideas about stakeholder cooperation in the suburban district of Myllypuro, where a new Metropolia campus is being built. The workshop presents a participatory design concept that was created for Live Baltic Campus and the first Livable City Forum. Immerse yourself in creative team work, join a stakeholder role play around a map and take this method back to your home city in the form of a toolkit poster!

The ways to include the higher education campuses in the area into a collaborative network and to create joint study modules between them? How Arabia sits in the urban planning scene and development of the local profile and brand? What should be the future services in the area and how should the future Campus Arabia be co-developed?
