About event
3rd external stakeholder workshop “BRIDGING THE OLD WITH THE NEW: THE VASAB LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE 2040” was held on 26 November 2021 from 13:30-16:00 CET.
How would a desired Baltic Sea Region look like by 2040? How do we envision its urban networks and settlement structure, its physical and digital connectivity, the management of its ‘commons’ that ensure a good quality of life, and how do we envision its maritime and spatial planning by 2040? What do we wish to look different from today? Visions are a powerful approach to imagine desirable futures. VASAB has been one of the pioneers in developing visions, dating back to the first VASAB vision “VASAB 2010. Towards a Framework for Spatial Development in the Baltic Sea Region” in 1994.
This workshop discussed the VASAB Long-Term Perspective update. Going through the four metaphors of the vision, i.e., the pearls, the strings, the patches and the system, each representing a different territorial element, the workshop aimed to acquaint participants with the vision in a mix of short plenary sessions and co-creation.
