En Suède, la ville portuaire d’Helsingborg accueille un festival mondial des innovations urbaines, où l’on essaie notamment de voir comment nos villes peuvent devenir plus durables, notamment face au changement climatique. Aujourd’hui, 60% des habitants de la planète vivent dans des zones urbaines et la façon dont ils se déplacent, se nourrissent ou se chauffent a un impact direct sur la planète. C’est le sujet au cœur de Helsingborg 2022, ou H22. On y croise des maires, des architectes, des urbanistes, des entrepreneurs, qui tentent tous d’inventer cette ville du futur.

As nights grow light and long, a traveller’s fancy turns towards the land of the midnight sun, even though much of Sweden closes down while locals enjoy their midsummer celebrations. However, Helsingborg is the exception this year, as the west coast city which is one of Sweden’s loveliest and most innovative throws a design party worth leaving home for between now and July 3. This is a town worth visiting at any time for the sheer pleasure of its offerings, which will be enhanced by contributions to the fair which become permanent even when the party is over.
