MC-YOU project – implementation phase

The project MC-YOU aims to empower young people to take an active role in designing and creating the cities of the future by using Minecraft.

The three project partner cities: Faro, Portugal, Riga, Latva, Sandanski, Bulgaria were implementing the MC-YOU model.

In each city, the MC teams were formed, consisting of young people with the support of practitioners and policymakers. The teams explored a part of their city to identify buildings or spaces that they want to remodel.

Live Talk and Online Cities: building tomorrow on the foundation of heritage, 20 June, 17:30-19:00 CEST.

Festival LAMPA, Latvia’s open-air democracy and conversation festival, returns this June for its eleventh edition in Cēsis. Since its inception in 2015, LAMPA has become a dynamic platform for civic engagement, open dialogue, and the strengthening of democratic culture.
The next Liveability Talk will take place as part of the event on 20 June, focussing on the following questions: How can we transform old buildings into vibrant, inclusive spaces that truly serve people? How can we rethink materials, design, and planning to create cities that are both sustainable and socially inclusive? And what role do municipalities, NGOs, the private sector and their collaboration play in this process?

UBC Planning Cities Commission seminar in Riga

“NEW LIFE OF OLD PLACES – HISTORIC MARKETPLACE IN THE HISTORIC CENTRE OF RIGA”

The programme of the Seminar is packed with valuable lectures covering not only issues of UNESCO World Heritage Sites but also perception of public space from the perspective of social anthropology and reducing the impacts of climate change in the city.

During the workshop we will work in groups on creating urban concepts for enhancing the synergy between the Riga Central Market and the rest of the city, and, at the same time, we will be exchanging experiences and knowledge from our daily work for the UBC Cities.

Partner search from Energy Cities on LIFE programme project proposal ‘New European Bauhaus’

Energy Cities are looking to better understand which cities or municipalities might already be active in this area — or would be interested in developing activities around the reuse of existing buildings and spaces to develop housing, tackling issues like vacancy, under-utilisation, or alternative housing solutions.
