Street Creativity

Urban Task Force spearheaded a “Street Creativity Session” in the days prior to and alongside the 6th Biennial of Towns and Town Planners Copenhagen 6th-11th of June 2005 where the overall topic was CITY LIVING – LIVING CITY.

By way of master classes, workshops and the establishment of an idea bank, it involved young European planners, artists, students and others working with city space in various ways.

The Street Creativity Sessions wanted to highlight the creative potential that is unfolded in the everyday practices of the living city. These are practices that enrich and give meaning to urban life, but are often overlooked in the grand strategies and master plans of contemporary urbanism.

The workshop was geographically set in the South Harbour of Copenhagen and the result was presented and discussed on the last day of the biennial along with an exhibition that combined the local results of the workshop with examples of “street creativity” from all over the world.
