URBANmedias

Le concours lancé par Metsä Wood a encouragé les architectes du monde entier à concevoir des extensions en bois pour les centres urbains. Des participants issus de 40 pays ont proposé des solutions à base de bois afin de relever le défi de l'urbanisation.

Urban design and public space influence us in profound and multifarious ways – our health, fitness, diets, social life, mobility, psychology, aspirations, etc. Indeed, our relationship with biodiversity is a strong determinant of our psychological and physical wellbeing. Architects, engineers, and planners, endorsed by foresighted mayors and informed by the voices of science and local community groups, can together reconcile urbanisation with nature conservation, to create more sustainable, biodiverse and resilient cities. Our generation could render a positive and enduring legacy for the benefit of future generations.
