  • Summary

  • Our guest is Gustav Magnusson , who will present his new book , entitled « Keynote Conversations - 100 Interviews for Reinventing the City » is a collection of 100 interviews with urban experts from around the world. The book has been described as "a Pecha-Kucha urban planning festival in book form" and includes city directors from cities such as Toronto, Nuuk (Greenland), Rio de Janeiro, Cape Town, Melbourne, and Copenhagen, advisors to mayors in Paris, Sydney, and London, and professors from Harvard, UNESCO, and the London School of Economics. Renowned experts such as Alejandro Aravena, Carlos Moreno, and Finn Williams are also featured. Through the book, the author asks the experts about the challenges today's cities face, the attitude we need to address them, how to manage urgent issues, how to create urban visions, take action, and ultimately envision the futures of our living environments. But is it really the future we are looking for? Or are we perhaps searching for ourselves? Here is the bio of the author: Gustav Magnusson is an urban planner, FPR/MSA, certified EU-Urbact expert, board advisor, and founder of the urban planning studio For Elize in Malm®, Greater Copenhagen, Sweden. He has lived and worked in seven countries across twelve cities and has led and advised international teams in early complex urban planning for prominent architectural firms in Europe. In 2024, he was awarded the Europe 40 Under 40 prize, highlighting Europe's most promising young architects and designers. He is a keynote speaker and the third generation in a family of architects and journalists. With a passion for showcasing the diversity of ideas and perspectives within urban planning, he hopes to inspire new ways of thinking about the environments where we spend our lives together.
