The City of Oulu is the University of Oulu’s partner in the European University UNIC. It is dedicated to develop a dialogic relationship with its post-industrial city partners to address their questions, such as structural changes. In Oulu, they relate to the population growth and new opportunities in urban ecosystems. In post-industrial cities’ context, superdiverse people are considered a strength. In a smart city, knowledge management becomes a key approach, and the city is developed together with stakeholders.
CityLabs events address the challenges of changing cities through co-creation.
