Hack the city: Designing inclusive, smart, and nature-integrated urban environments
The Tri-City SLW Hackathon – Crafting Future Cities is an international innovation challenge connecting three European cities: Stockholm (KTH), Lisbon (ULisboa), and Wrocław (WroclawTech), as part of the UNITE! Widening project.
Cities face challenges such as climate change, car-dominated infrastructure, unequal access to public space, and social fragmentation. This hackathon provides a space for experimentation and collaboration to rethink public space as a living, sustainable, inclusive, and human-centered common good.
