Democracy surveys show that inequalities are growing and trust in society is being challenged. In this context, urban development and the designed living environment are never neutral issues – they are political tools that can either help reduce inequalities and connect the city, or reinforce physical and social barriers. Three days before the election, we invite you to a debate that moves beyond political slogans to explore in greater depth the visions for Malmö’s future urban planning.
Under valrörelsen möts politikerna för att utmanas i hur de i praktiken vill förvalta och forma en stad som håller samman och skapar värdiga livsmiljöer för alla. Debatten sätter fokus på partiernas syn på Malmös stadsutveckling och de vägval som väntar efter valet.
Meet the panel:
- Centerpartiet: Martin Molin
- Kristdemokraterna: Patrick Sackner Christensen
- Liberalerna: Lars Hellström
- Miljöpartiet: Stefana Hoti
- Moderaterna: Tony Rahm
- Socialdemokraterna: Arwin Sohrabi
- Sverigedemokraterna: Anders Olin
- Vänsterpartiet: Sara Andersson
The discussion will be moderated by Victoria Percovich Gutierrez, economist and PhD candidate at Malmö University. Two invited commentators will also contribute analysis and further perspectives: Julia Svensson, cultural journalist and critic at Sydsvenskan, and Finn Williams, City Architect of Malmö.
The debate takes place in conjunction with the opening of this autumn’s major architecture exhibitions at Form/Design Center: Aga Khan Award for Architecture, Imperfect Assemblies (by Assemble Studio) and Malmö in the Making. The exhibitions provide a unique and highly relevant backdrop to the conversation, welcoming an engaged audience of Malmö residents and industry professionals alike.
