Mikael Colville-Andersen has kindly agreed to give a lecture “Life-Sized Lessons for Futureproofing our Urban World”. He has analysed the urbanism lessons we can learn from 

crises – from the global pandemic to the war in Ukraine. All in order to try and find patterns for how we can better prepare ourselves for the increasing urban challenges we will face with climate change.

Mikael Colville-Andersen is an urban designer, author and a leading global voice in urbanism. He has worked in over 100 cities around the world, advising about how to design – and embrace – bicycle and pedestrian friendly streets in order to improve urban life. He is known for his pioneering philosophies about simplifying urban planning and how cities and towns should be designed instead of engineered. Mikael is also the host of the global documentary series about urbanism – The Life-Sized City. He inspires with examples from around the world about how cities and citizens are the key to tackling climate change through design thinking in this, the Age of Urbanism. He currently works in Ukraine, redesigning bombed cities and sending used bikes to the country with his NGO Bikes4Ukraine.org.
