2. IT TAKES A VILLAGE: HOLZMARKT BERLIN
PRESENTATION
✦ Benjamin Scheerbarth, Holzmarkt Berlin, Office ParkScheerbarth (DE)
Berlin exemplifies the productive synergies between alternative culture, identity, and the emergent knowledge economy. While history created a testbed for cultural diversity, today’s market pressures and regulatory frameworks threaten its existence. Amidst the turmoil, resourceful actors of the subcultural scene turn to urban development themselves — join in the awkward dance by learning from Berlin’s Holzmarkt project, a creative village in downtown Berlin with roots in the nightlife scene.

PRESENTATION

For more than 16 years PIP Den Haag has been a multifaceted cultural space, contemporary urban incubator, production house and training universe.

The urban night also poses challenges, masks injustices and serves as an early warning system for economic and social instability. How can cities best govern a night time economy to maximize potential and minimize risks? We’ll answer that and more in this panel on night governance with experts working within models from the USA.
