Conference 2021: Designed Living Environment and Democracy

In 2021, democracy in Sweden celebrates its 100th anniversary.

At the conference, we explore various aspects of democracy through themes such as citizen participation, the development of community life, the evolution of our public environments, who influences what is built, altered, and demolished, as well as what we preserve.
