We are about to launch a new project entitled ‘RIZE
2053: What kind of city do we want to live in?’. We know
that 37 years, from 2016 to 2053, is quite a long time
interval for urban planning. However, we want to
introduce a new understanding to urban development and
our desire is to create a change in the ongoing practices
by letting all stakeholders construct this long-term
process from the initial stage to the end. It took me quite
a long time to write this project proposal, mostly due to
my lack of knowledge in this field. I am also struggling to
convince most of the internal staff to collaborate on this
project. I would be grateful if we can integrate your
research into our project and benefit from your
experiences in this field (Coordinator of the RIZE 2053
Project, the Municipality of Rize).
