FLOWS & FUNDING – INVITATION
August 23, 2014

At the close of 2014 International Architecture Biennale of Rotterdam (IABR) and on the eve of the opening of the partly crowdfunded Luchtsingel or Air Canal, PAMFLET Urban Debate (Rotterdam), New Generations (Madrid) and wonderland platform for european architecture (Vienna) look to merge some of the lessons from the current biennale about the urban metabolism with some of the emerging questions of the upcoming biennale about the next economy.
For the first event of the Funding Urbanism series, wonderland invites protagonists of this new economic movement to share their concepts and case studies of architecture and planning initiatives in experimenting with, or elaborating alternative, community-based funding models to finance urban regeneration projects at various scales. The experiences presented on Skype and in person will range from crowdfunding, seed-investment, cooperative financing, community land and development trusts, community shares, community investment, development trusts and social finance.
