Nordic urbanism as a field of territorial resilience

While encompassing three seasons that vary from mild to hot, the essence of northern places is most significantly marked by winter. Nordicity, the set of characteristics specific to places intimately linked to the cold, snow, and the short days of winter, significantly influences the daily rhythms and overall lifestyles of those living in northern regions.

Is it possible to design cities to be inclusive and non-discriminatory?

During Diversity Month in Montreal, BC2 tackled the concept of inclusive urban design. How we live, work, play, travel and relax is determined by cities and their urban design. Our urban spaces must rise to the challenge and meet a full spectrum of needs, including those of the most vulnerable, including women, young people, gender minorities and people living with disabilities. How can we design cities that are inclusive and free from discrimination to shape the cities of the future?

Nothing is perfect, but all is intended to be.
