TUR'20 - Technopolitics in Urban Regeneration highlights the importance of co-creation in the construction of liveable, sustainable cities, presenting an opportunity to share the work of architectural practices and researchers on participatory experiences and methodologies.

Contemporary metropolitan territories are creating an intertwined web of social, economical, environmental and digital relations among those who inhabit them. The democratization of technology and its ever-increasing influence in everyday life has amplified the ways in which citizens can turn distant connections into cooperative relations. These relations have the potential to foster and define an inclusive, common and sustainable future. New digital and social technologies present a new set of game-changers, not only for participation and space design practices, but also on openness and democracy levels in urbanisms and city-making processes, blurring the boundary lines between short-term design and long-term planning.

During this two week event, participants will develop co-creation processes, reframing the scale of interventions by the identification of local stakeholders, networks and agents engaged in collaborative partnership. The two day conference explored digital and social technologies in bottom-up urban space design strategies, structured in four thematic sessions: (1) City governance in the Network society; (2) Reinventing the city through commoning; (3) 2.0 City, culture, identity and play; and (4) Practices of co-creating Liveable Spaces. The four days’ masterclasses will engage participants in a collaborative learning experience to develop an integrated urban design solution in Barreiro (Lisbon Metropolitan Area). The opportunity to work on a real case scenario will allow the participants to combine technological knowledge, strategic design concerns and participatory methodologies to deal with methods of urban regeneration and co-design of the Common City.

TUR'20 Technopolitics in Urban Regeneration destaca a importância da cocriação na construção de cidades habitáveis e sustentáveis, apresentando uma oportunidade de compartilhar o trabalho de práticas arquitetónicas e pesquisas em experiências e metodologias participativas.
Os territórios metropolitanos contemporâneos estão a criar uma teia entrelaçada de relações sociais, económicas, ambientais e digitais entre aqueles que os habitam. A democratização da tecnologia e sua influência cada vez maior na vida quotidiana ampliou as maneiras pelas quais os cidadãos podem transformar conexões distantes em relações cooperativas. Essas relações têm o potencial de fomentar e definir um futuro inclusivo, comum e sustentável. As novas tecnologias digitais e sociais apresentam um novo quadro inovador, não apenas para práticas de design e participação, mas também sobre os níveis de abertura e democracia em urbanismos e processos de construção de cidades, esfumando as fronteiras entre o design de curto prazo e o planeamento de longo prazo.

Durante este evento de duas semanas, os participantes desenvolveram processos de cocriação, reenquadrando a escala das intervenções através da identificação de atores locais, redes e agentes envolvidos em parcerias colaborativas. A conferência de dois dias explorou tecnologias digitais e sociais em estratégias de design de espaço urbano de baixo para cima, estruturadas em quatro sessões temáticas: (1) Governança da cidade na sociedade em rede; (2) Reinventar a cidade através do comum; (3) 2.0 Cidade, cultura, identidade e jogo; e (4) Práticas de cocriação de espaços habitáveis.
As masterclasses de quatro dias envolveram os participantes em uma experiência de aprendizagem colaborativa para desenvolver uma solução de design urbano integrado no Barreiro (Área Metropolitana de Lisboa). A oportunidade de trabalhar em um cenário de caso real permitirá aos participantes combinar conhecimento tecnológico, preocupações de design estratégico e metologias participativas para lidar com métodos de regeneração urbana e co-design da Cidade Comum.
