Making cities work for all.&#8221; panel at Expo Real 2019<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Population centers, economic hubs, infrastructure clusters, tourist destinations and many more. Irrespective of how we think about a city, the truth is we need to find a healthy mixture between all the components that create a city\u2019s identity. During an early panel at the 22nd edition of Expo Real in Munich, participants tried to explain if inclusion is indeed possible and if cities can really be for everyone and everything\u2014businesses, buildings, people etc.\u2014simultaneously. &nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/2019-expo-real-conference-highlights\/\">Read our full coverage of Expo Real 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>In a conversation moderated by Greg Clark, CBE FAcSS Global Advisor on Future Cities in London, City of Philadelphia First Deputy Commerce Director Sylvie Gallier Howard, City of Bonn Mayor Ashok Sridharan, City of Helsinki Deputy Mayor for Urban Development Anni Sinnemaki,&nbsp; Group Chief Resources Officer Astrid Panosyan and Gesa Ziemer, head of City Science Lab at HCU Halfen City Universitat fur Baukunst und Metropolenentwicklung in Hamburg, Germany, provided their views on the tensions and conflicts that need to be resolved in order to create an inclusive city.<\/p>\n<p>Known as an industrial city, Philadelphia is now experiencing a renaissance. The city <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/philadelphia-office-report-spring-2019\/\">is a mecca for Millennials<\/a> and immigrants due to its affordability when compared to Boston or Washington, D.C., the city\u2019s first deputy commerce director said at the panel. Howard admitted that the city\u2019s slow growth was a <em>\u201cblessing in disguise\u201d<\/em> because it allowed them to learn from other cities\u2019 mistakes.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cGrowing with Equity\u201d<\/em> is the city\u2019s vision for inclusive growth. The framework encourages collaborative political leadership at the state, local and federal levels, as well as a network of businesses, community agencies, educational institutions and nonprofits to work together. Through job creation, investments in education and equitable growth in neighborhoods, Philadelphia is looking to grow, preserve the unique fabric of the city and be competitive at the same time.<\/p>\n<h2>Examples from Europe<\/h2>\n<p><em>\u201cWe see cities as a complex system,\u201d<\/em> Sridharan said. The region that Bonn, Germany, is part of has more than 1 million residents. One of the problems the city is struggling with is the lack of housing, particularly affordable developments, but the mayor of Bonn admits that there are several communities in the city that do not accept other buildings and oppose many real estate projects.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1004358254\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/Expo-Real-2019-1.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1004358254\" data-attachment-id=\"1004358254\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/expo-real-2019-are-inclusive-cities-a-utopia\/expo-real-2019-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/Expo-Real-2019-1.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"800,620\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Expo Real 2019 1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/Expo-Real-2019-1.jpg?w=800\" class=\"wp-image-1004358254 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/Expo-Real-2019-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/Expo-Real-2019-1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/Expo-Real-2019-1.jpg?resize=300,233 300w, https:\/\/www.commercialsearch.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/2019\/10\/Expo-Real-2019-1.jpg?resize=768,595 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1004358254\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">&#8220;Who is the city for?

We need new houses for living, but we also need new spaces for working. We have to reduce traffic. We cannot reach these goals alone, we have to get together with real estate,\u201d <\/em>said Sridharan.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe main thing when talking about who the city is for is that the city should be for everyone\u2014those who are coming to the city and those who have grown in the city. The city should be for people to reach their goals and dreams,\u201d <\/em>the deputy mayor of Helsinki added. She offered the example of her growing city, which now has 650,000 residents, with population projected to increase to an estimated 860,000 by 2050. <em>\u201cWe need to take action and make sure there is space for people. We need to build and grow for those who come from abroad. We have plenty of companies who need people to come to work.

Helsinki has committed to be carbon neutral by 2035. The city is for those that are bold and innovative, who have money and expertise to execute and fulfill the task of reducing carbon,\u201d <\/em>she concluded.<em> &nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>The private sector&#8217;s input<\/h2>\n<p>Connections and interactions\u2014this is what cities should be about, according to Panosyan, the private sector\u2019s representative at the panel. <em>\u201cI totally agree with the public leaders. Cities are for everyone. It\u2019s about companies, entrepreneurs and public services that work. The cities are able now to work with the surrounding cities. When we forget about all that, it creates imbalances: density, congestions etc.,\u201d<\/em> she said. Panosyan stressed that the city is definitely about inclusion and that traditional real estate players should think of themselves as placemakers.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe purpose of our company is reinventing being together. It\u2019s about creating global places with deep roots in the tradition of the city. We need to co-partner and reinvent the civic course. Find ways to go to the people, consult them.

In the public sector, we fear we are not moving forward fast enough,\u201d <\/em>said Sinnemaki.<\/p>\n<p>In some cases, to make the collaboration work, the reputation of real estate developers needs to be restored. <em>\u201cWe need to move toward more of a partnership with developers. For the moment, a lot of people think that \u2018real estate developer\u2019 is a bad word. We need to rebrand what real estate is,\u201d<\/em> said Howard.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThe future of the city is bringing people together, making them talk. Companies are about money, I\u2019d invite them to come to labs. Top-down planning doesn\u2019t work anymore. People want to know what will happen near them.
