How Must Metabolism and Inclusivity Be Developped and Connected?
Risøy is in need of a public space strategy that accommodates the pulsating flows of workers, cruise passengers, goods and machines that pass through the island and at the same time gives special care to the few remaining ecosystems and the vulnerable groups living on the island. […] The island offers a huge potential for new synergies that can be made through a series of exciting urban projects and experiments of both permanent and temporal character. The municipality asks for socially and economically sustainable ideas and strategies for how to revitalise the district through a sensitive approach to the local urban infrastructure and ecology.
