Cradle to Cradle – Creative and Effective Urbanism

Coinciding with the opening of the exhibition »Cradle to Cradle® Festival« at Aedes Architecture Forum, the Design and Politics series begins with an exploration of the potential of the Cradle to Cradle® philosophy to inform architecture and urban planning principles.

The speakers listed below will present their respective positions on this question and engage in a moderated dialogue intended to articulate the scope, limitations and effectiveness of the Cradle to Cradle® philosophy in setting universal standards across all scales from city design, to architecture, to product design; and to determine where political responsibility lies for creative and effective urbanism.
