Amazing set of talks in Brussels about the future and collective action - reminding me of quite how left behind the UK is getting in the Brexit distraction youarehere.brussels

...i.e this diagram of self organisation of urban commons networks is actually being delivered on the ground in Rotterdam, while our starved UK local councils are in paralysis

#WorldTransformationConference 1 – Societal workspace "One experiment is not enough. If you do not build a movement around it and learn from it, you are not shifting anything. To do this, you need the infrastructure of the lab" stRaten-generaal, De Andere Markt, @transform1sm

At Architecture Workroom Brussels #youarehere IABR in #BXL the world transformational conference discusses the powerful mix of societal challenges, design with capacity, changing the process by coalition & deliberation + the need for millions to spend our trillions wisely youarehere.brussels

#WorldTransformationConference 2 – Designing the Future "If you have a more structured programme like StadsLab2050 in Antwerp where you try to experiment and at the same time act on it and at the same it understand what it means for policy making, you are getting somewhere."

“There is a risk that consultancy trumps community in organising integral design challenges” Henk Ovink about REBUILD BY DESIGN at #youareherebrussels. Investors should become partners!

#WorldTransformationConference 3 – It takes a million to spend a billion. - You can have the billions, but you need the coalition - Invest in commitment, not in consultancy - Take the future as a reference - Change the rules all the time - Diversify the partners

#WorldTransformationConference 4 – Democracy through action. We should not design a fixed conversational or organisational model, we need evolutionary systems of decision-making Evi Swinnen Timelab stRaten-generaal @transform1sm Delfshaven Coöperatie

#WorldTransformationConference 5 – Learning platforms and networks. If you cannot package your proposal in a 4-year project, it is not considered as a valuable idea. Our motivation for #Stadsacademie came from this common frustration present both in universities and government.
