Background and Rationale
Baguio City was founded in 1908 and has evolved over a century into a haven for residents, students, and tourists. We invite you to re-imagine and co-create Baguio for the next 100 years.
We are holding an Baguio Urban Lab Renewal Design Sprint to engage more stakeholders in the dialogue of how Baguio can continue to be renewed, one project at at time. The Design Sprint methodology (click here) is an intense creative collaboration method typically used in hackathons and incubators. The interactions will be similar to the Startup Weekend event, but will focus on urban renewal instead of software design.
Objectives
1. To design and showcase concepts of how selected sites in Baguio can be renewed
2. To cultivate an understanding of urban renewal and the role of citizens and academics in co-creating the cities they live in
3. To create a venue for enthusiasts, advocates, and leaders of urban renewal and innovation to connect, join and create communities
4. to make Baguio's academe a model for university-driven urban renewal leadership for the rest of the country
