B Citizen Lab: a citizens’ consultation at the BDW City Festival

This year the Barcelona Design Week City Festival will offer a space for meeting, learning and participatory generation of ideas to favour the construction of a Barcelona that will be more prosperous, inclusive and sustainable.

This will be carried out with the B Citizen Lab, an activity which “will enable the public to participate in the creation of a collective diagnosis on the city’s challenges and make advances in a process of ideation and reflection to identify solutions,” in the words of Pablo Sánchez of B Lab Spain.

B Citizen Lab brings together several actions. On the one hand, a citizen consultation to identify, collectively, the challenges and opportunities associated with the Sustainable Development Goals set by the United Nations for 2030 (SDG2030). This survey is already active and you can access it through this link.

Second, five free talks on experiences and success stories of companies and organizations working for a more sustainable city. These talks will take place on October 16 outside the Disseny Hub, in the Elisava Gardens area.

The last activity of B Citizen Lab is a session of collective formulation of +B ideas in which the participants will be able to put forward creative proposals. All these ideas will materialize in the form of a mural that will be exhibited at the Disseny Hub from October 16 to 29.

This is an opportunity “to understand better what are the priorities in which each one of us can contribute to making Barcelona a better city,” Sánchez says.
