The Sustainable Urban Design Programme

Peter SiöströmCatharina Sternudd

Andreas OlssonFounders of SUDes

Accelerating urban migration is one of the great challenges of our time and unchecked haphazard urbanization is a serious threat both to the environment and to social and economic balance. To meet global sustainability targets, rapid urban growth must be channelled into environmentally friendly, inclusive and livable urban environments. High quality urban design plays a key role in creating these sustainable cities.

Creating sustainable urban design beyond and above the expected, means carefully examining and utilizing the case-specific, time-specific and place-specific in every project.

Urban SpecificsSUDes conference

Urban designers are re-thinking the search for urban form: probing for deeper meanings, exploring different narratives, searching for hidden dimensions and re-presenting the ephemeral flows of daily life, all in an effort to create a more enriching, meaningful and sustainable urban existence. The search has been enhanced by new tools and new knowledge, creating an expanded field of enquiry, both confirming and challenging old assumptions and sensibilities.

SUDes-12 will explore emerging processes, probe new dimensions, reveal latent potential. It will be about the qualities of nearness and immediacy, the specifics that distinguish and differentiate the world:

The Crafting and attending to the use of small things and intimate spaces.

Exploring the multiple flows which shape experience.

Listening to the multiple stories of what the place has been and might be.

Finding the poetic in the ordinary and bringing fresh imagination into play.

Discovering unrealized potential within present structures.

Searching for hidden dimensions and provocative connections.

Re-conceptualizing what already exists and constructing narratives of possibility. it’s about being careful
