Symposium Yes, but there is a problem
The protection of the urban commons is a core question of our cities’ resilience. In recent years, new models have tried to step beyond the public / private duality in the management of urban goods. Cities are increasingly open to these new practices in the CEE region as well: new kinds of regulations, political institutions and programs are reframing the creation, management and maintenance of urban resources.
The Yes, but there is a problem symposium introduces new urban strategies in the perspective of very different actors of city making, from independent expert groups and professional institutions to the public administration.

Nienke Voorintholt
In my work as a designer I focused on sharing a story or experience by making a product. Working at Truc sphérique made me realize how a building or an event can been seen as a product.
What if we will see the city as a product? One we can shape together with the municipality and the citizens.Karol Piekarski
