Thanks. You mean the stickers? Dreaming of making the event global as of next year. Cities + ecol.life = v. hot topic and hardly anyone is doing it. Ie theres a certain demand for megapolis.
Juha Huuskonen has had a lot of experience with Pikseliähky. If you were going to try and get Megapolis off the ground in other places (starting in Stockholm, Tallinn...), Juha's brain would a good one to pick.
@jyri Theres plans, but theyre still v. much plans. Would perhaps be a good idea to form a megapolis r&d or advisory board, esp. since world domination is def. part of the plan.
And definetely r&d advisory board would be the best thing to do. I'm in! Theme for next year festival could be 'happy cities' commenting on the Finnish rural utopia.
Megapolis sounds interesting, first time I heard about it (stuck here in rural Finland :) I guess the first step in internationalization would be English translation of the website and other info material...
I asked about english at the event on fb and got a negative. Pardon the linguistic imperialism in advance, but i would really like to participate, and know a few other ulkomalaiset also...i'll b there regardless...finnish practise never hurt

That'd be an easy event to export, I imagine...
2 years, 3 months ago by tolonen
I was thinking the same. But know absolutely nothing of exporting events. Is that a trade/profession?
2 years, 3 months ago by mokka
No, it's an aspect of networking:-) And very hit and miss.

Have a look at new site www.megapolis2022.org. Kirmo made such a good work. Soon also Jaikus will be on front page. Any other comments?

Thanks for joining in. Now we have a seed for the board of inspiration and contacts. I think were def. onto something big here!

There's nothing I love more than commenting on Finnish rural utopia...:-) Bollocks, mostly.

Happy cities vipes floor w. creative cities! Can we do the indexing in a year. I.E. find funding for a appr. 70k res. project?

Hi guys, just wondering, why this conversation is not on the (#Megapolis) channel. Others there might be interested, too. So join there!

I wonder how many people have a finnish passport and speak less finnish than me? ...little embarrassing/confusing in customs sometimes :)
