D. Art and architecture – creating lasting value for the green city
The green city as a sustainability concept will have to be materialized into living environments for people and habitats. The quality of that generated built environment, as well as the quality of the process through which the implementation happens, is an important part of the realization of the green city and the European Urban Agenda and New European Bauhaus framework. Art and architecture can be empowering perspectives in mission, opening up for criticality, creativity and co-creation that deliver long-standing results beyond conventional solutions. This session explores the levering effect of integrating art and architecture in the emergence of the green city.

The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Per-Johan Dahl, Associate Professor Architecture, Lund University.
