Symposium Kreative Räume Wien
Building Communities - sharing vacant properties
On 2 and 3 April, Kreative Räume Wien, the service for vacancy activation and interim use for the City of Vienna, is hosting the symposium ‘Building Communities – Leerstand kooperativ nutzen’ (Building Communities – Cooperative Use of Vacancies). Successful practical examples show how collectively organised spaces are created, how pioneering uses can be structurally anchored and which strategies have proven effective in securing affordable space for creative and public-interest uses.
The symposium offers insightful keynote speeches, an excursion and a panel discussion.
