Austria
The 'The Future of Social Biomimicry Workshop ' will take place on 23 February 2012 in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Can nature inspire us for cityplanning and -development? Mostly we see the city as a non-natural habitat for people and some birds and other species like cars and bicycles. When we look upon the city as a living ecosystem, what can we learn from nature. Has the city it's own metabolism, can it feed itself? How does a living city provide living conditions for all organisms?
The event will be an opportunity to explore what we can learn from nature. The speakers and topics are:
-Bowine Wijffels is working as consultant and process leader in environmental education and learning for sustainable development. Learning from nature of one of her passions.
-Social Biomimicry - for project management, leadership, change in organisations
-Douwe Jan Joustra, Managing Partner, One Planet Architecture institute
Living City
-Moderated by Caroline van Leenders, Agency NL, Ministry of Economics, Agriculture, and Innovation
