economy for innovation. Twenty-six years out of communism the “region” still
struggles to fight corruption and social equality; its cities struggle to compete
in the world economy; and the local flavor of urbanism struggles to keep up
with other modern cities. But, the potential platform for a ‘Shared City’ to
solve some of these problems is ripe. Around the world, how are we utilizing
the sharing economy to develop better cities, if at all?
reSITE 2015: Shared City
Sharing is defined as the joint use of a resource
or space. Historically, cities have been the physical
manifestation of platforms for sharing. The city - on its
own - has always been a center for sharing resources,
spaces, architecture, ideas, economies and cultures.
the ‘shared city’ will explore the intersection of new
technology, the sharing economy and city design.
Foreword by Martin Barry
If you are in this room you likely already know that cities around the world
are growing at the rate of about one million people per week. By 2030, half
of the world’s population will live in cities, with 2.7 billion more people living
in the world than do at this moment. Cities will continue to be centers of
economic growth, innovation, and habitation for the world’s most productive
people and urban solutions will encompass over 20% of global GDP. Good
ideas and innovation are born in environments where people can exchange
ideas and share information freely and easily. The modern city provides
the physical infrastructure for sharing while acting as the veins for creative
vibrancy. In an urbanizing world that is increasingly driven by a stressed free
market, how does the concept of sharing relate to contemporary city building
and public space in the city? The sharing economy (or, the collaborative
economy) has emerged as a relatively new force by empowering citizens and
individuals to play a larger role in the economy (and city making) by means
of collaboration. This is a relatively new paradigm only because it is defined
by new information technologies that merge with old practices of sharing.
Together, the ‘Shared City’ mobilizes a culture that is theoretically more
connected, educated and productive than those before us.
There is a shifting landscape in Prague and reSITE 2015 will
identify and expand upon that shift.
It is our mission at reSITE to connect and collaborate
in order to create a city that is more livable, competitive
and resilient for the next generation than it is for this one.
Here, we bring together global thought leaders to debate
the merits and shortfalls of the ‘Shared City’ at reSITE 2015.
We will talk about creating platforms to make a more

in the ‘Shared City.’ How can we - you and I - provide
unique opportunities to share the city and share
between cities?
The ‘Shared City’ is somewhat synonymous with the sharing economy
in that it shall leverage technology, citizens, data and design to make the
connections between people, goods and services more efficient. The ‘Shared
City’ promises to be a more equitable, diverse and sustainable city by crowd
sourcing progress. Societies in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe
(CEE), are just beginning the conversation about leveraging the sharing

visual identity 2015
what are all those drawings and shapes about anyway?
A key inspiration for reSITE Visual Identity 2015 was a Czech born graphic
designer Ladislav Sutnar (born 1897, Plzen), who is a pioneer in the areas
of information, architecture and design. Sutnar’s modernist and disciplined
layouts, minimal use of color and his aim to present complex (as well as
sometimes outright boring) data while staying playful is very close to our,
reSITE heart. The subject of data, its presentation to the public, accessibility
and how it changes our cities is one of the main topics of the reSITE
conference in 2015. Like Sutnar, we strive to present complex issues (and no
issue is simple where you need to work with communities, or need to hear
and respond to the many voices of a city) in a way that is both accessible and
beautiful
Ladislav Sutnar’s professional life included studying both architecture
and painting. He taught at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in
Prague (UMPRUM). In 1939 Sutnar settled in NYC; city crucial to reSITE history
and inspiration as well. This is the city where reSITE founder, Martin Barry, was
born and lived before coming to Prague to form a team that has since created
a cross-cultural network of cities and people connecting and collaborating to
solve complex issues and propose innovative solutions for our cities.
Amongst many publications, catalogues, identities and other projects
conceived by Sutnar one that attracts our attention is “Build The Town”
– a building block toy set created in 1942. However, the set was never
mass produced although sketches and a prototype still exist. The simple
geometrical shapes of the blocks allow the user to assemble them in many
different setups. A set of shapes that could be not just a house, a factory, a
car... But a face, a voice, a solution. A shared city where we are all part of one.

Hackathon |
Prague Hacks
Hackathon, is a marathon, a creative hacking
session where local hackers, programmers,
entrepreneurs, and creative people of all types are
invited to come together on a single mission: to
improve life in the City of Prague, using the city’s
own open data. The event, dubbed “Prague Hacks.
Shared City: Improving City Life,” is a non-profit
event; the largest of its kind, and will be held at the
popular working space Node5, as well as being live
streamed online.
The international workshop “Open Urban Data”,
is co-organized by Prague Institute of Planning
and Development and the 2015 reSITE conference
“The Shared City”.
A Hackathon is a non-stop collaborative session
in which groups of people work as quickly as they
can to come up with a finished product, based on a
simple idea. The product can take any form, like an
app, a web service, or even a game. The event is for
anyone with an interest in the City of Prague- not
just programmers.
The workshop will focus on effective utilization
of open data from municipalities especially in the
following two areas - the process of opening data
for transparent and effective municipalities and
using geodata for more effective urban planning and
development.
The City of Prague will make reams of data
available, including geodata, data on transport,
crime and safety, elections and government, land
use, and more. Those joining the Hackathon will
propose their own ideas for open-source, or business
applications for that data. Then they will divide
themselves into teams to tackle different problems
which hold interest to them.
Workshop leader: Tanja Lahti - Project Manager,
City of Helsinki Urban Facts, Helsinki
The goal of the “Open Urban Data” is to utilize
the knowledge and experience of leading experts in
the field, by exploring data from cities with positive
practices (Helsinki). Open data will be discussed in
different thematic directions and layers.

praha bubny
railway area
Praha–Bubny railway station is located in Prague
7 in the Holešovice cadastral area. Although today
it is only served by local trains and with limited
passenger facilities, it is one of the largest stations
in Prague by area, with 20 tracks and 6 platforms.
The station is not served directly by any trams or
buses, but is 5 minutes walking distance from the
tram system and 10 minutes from Vltavská metro
station. This large scale area has been in a center
of attention since 2006 when it was sold to the
developer Orco Omikron. The investor has been
pushing the plan for another large scale residential
and mixed used complex. The area has been a
subject of few international idea studies, but high
number of the owners, complicated ownership
rights and a lack of resources prevented any further
progress in this area. Praha Bubny area is dividing
Prague 7 municipal district into two socially and
culturally different parts (Letna and Holesovice).
This segregation has been a major problem of
Prague 7. The goal of the workshop will be to
discuss the strategy for development of Prague
railway brownfields and bring the international
expertise from relevant reference projects from all
over the world.

Informal Vertical Communities and Informal
Urbanism. Special screening of 3 films by the
award-winning studio The Urban Think Tank,
Zürich.
Aspen Institute Prague invites you to a public
debate “Activists At Town Halls”. What motivates
non-politicians to run for local election? What does
the post-election reality look like? How can artists
and activists improve city governance?
reSITE and Aerofilms present a special screening of
3 films, including the Czech premier of Torre David
directed and produced by the award-winning studio
of Alfredo Brillembourg and Hubert Klumpner
of Urban-Think Tank (U-TT) in Zurich and
Caracas. Torre David will be accompanied by
two short films Mumbai: Maximum City Under
Pressure and MK’s Upstairs Shack.
What does the post-election reality look like? How
can artists and activists improve city governance?
Special Guests:
Jon Gnarr (Former Mayor of Reykjavik, comedian,

Peter Brocka (Mayor of Trnava, Trnava)
Matej Hollan (Deputy Mayor of Brno, Zit Brno,
Brno)
Torre David is a film about a 45-story office tower
in Caracas which, was almost completed when it
was abandoned following the death of its developer
and collapse of the Venezuelan economy. Until
2014 it was the improvised home of more than
750 families, living in an extra-legal occupation
that some call a vertical slum. This community
withstood the contradictory and potent forces that
surround and impinged upon it—its members had
great ingenuity and determination, turning a ruin
into a home. Although a precarious and marginal
one—it is nothing short of astonishing.

Shared Housing
Evening salon |
Shared transport
Currently younger generations are now creating
new community patterns within our cities. They
are establishing families later than their parents,
and now we have an emerging group of people who
are sharing flats rather then buying or building
new homes. With this new community pattern
arising we have new short term shared housing
products appearing in the Czech Republic such as,
AirBnB or couchsurfing. Others like co-housing or
baugruppe however are more long-term and require
an active participation and financial investment from
the residents.
Is there a demand for co-housing in Czech
Republic and Central Europe? While Germany
and Austria have advanced this model of housing,
it is completely unknown to post-communistic
countries of Central Europe.
With the first prototypes being built in Prague and
Bratislava, they are seeking for the critical mass
of clients. Both creating new economic and social
model of housing.
Shared transport is a term for describing a demanddriven vehicle-sharing arrangement, in which
travelers share a vehicle either simultaneously (e.g.
ride-sharing) or over time (e.g. car sharing or bike
sharing), and in the process share the cost of the
journey, thereby creating a hybrid between private
vehicle use and mass or public transport.
In past few years significant forms of shared
transport have appeared in Central Europe. Bike
sharing (Rekola, City bike sharing systems)
or commercial, private products of car-sharing
(Spolujizda or Uber) have also been found in the
Czech Republic.
While technology brings transport closer to citizens,
we have witnessed few controversies related to
personal data abuse. What are the pros-and-cons of
using technology for shared transport? Can public
transport as highly promoted form of traveling
in modern cities compete with such products?
Besides reducing traffic, what are their economic
contributions to the city?
Join our Evening Salon and investigate the viability
and possibilities of shared housing in Central
Europe. What are the financial, social benefits and
legal constraints of such models?

Prague 8 (Karlin) is a great area to discover by
bike. This city district is characteristic by numerous
fresh brownfield transformations. Pedestrian and
bike friendly Tempo 30 Zone makes it a perfect
place where community life blooms. Recently Prague 8 has become the place to be in Prague.
Bring your own bike and experience some of its
urban realms. The bike ride will take you to the
new park Pristav 186 00 and later on will cross the
bridge to nearby Holesovice area (Prague 7) where
we will visit Marina Port, then on to one of the
most popular community gardens Prazelenina with
the first public bread oven and popular co-working
space Paralelni Polis. We will enjoy the company of
photographers from festival Fotosfera who focus on
capturing life in Holesovice area. A limited number
of bikes are available for rent.

Shared culture
Imagine 5 prominent Central and Eastern European
cultural managers, urbanists, activists nurturing
culture and awareness about architecture and urban
planning around one table. Shared culture will be
debated from various aspects. How can we seek
sustainability of top bottom, bottom up cultural
projects in capitals and second cities? What are the
constraints and vital aspects of both models? How
do different financial and management models work,
as well as different target audiences influence shared
culture - and on the contrary how does shared
culture manifest itself through the recent popular
creative hubs, co-working spaces? How does it
influence economics, social climate and citizens in
these cities?
Debate |
On riverfronts
In nearly every city in Europe we have seen
catastrophic flooding over the last decade. Here in
Prague, we are in the midst of debates about how
to transform the riverfront to deal with inevitable
flood risk, human impact and the need for higher
quality recreation space. Only with design
thinking can we manage the river and plan for the
riverfront; collaborative design thinking in tandem
with politics, something that has never been more
important than now.
Henk Ovink will discuss politics, design and
planning with Pavla Melkova and Barbara Wilks.
Ovink believes that a truly resilient process and
place cannot be owned by any one actor or group
but a ‘place of collaboration’ for a multitude of
stakeholders - government, businesses, NGOs,
philanthropy, investors, scientists, professionals, and
communities - through a process where ownership
and complexity could increase every day. The
panelists will debate how to apply this kind of
collaborative thinking to transform and rethink the
underutilized and under-managed Vltava riverfront.
