On Thursday I took a short trip to Frankfurt to the store opening of Bershka. Later that night I was able to enjoy the nightlife of Frankfurt at the official after show party at Zoom. Palina and Schowi from Berlin were playing which is always a guarantee for a good time. Enjoy the impressions on 2 pages after the jump.
Imagine a trip to the land of the future. Where a princess plants trees, lamps are enlighted by the wind, streets are painted in joyful colors by millions of childrens and supermarkets are places where people come together to share food and love. These are just a few of the participating projects of the smart future minds award that took place in the 12th and final smart urban stage in Frankfurt.
We had an incredible experience getting to know the people behind these projects and meeting bloggers from all over Europe. We were really moved by the spirit of the heartfelt responsabilty for a better future. We were happy and proud to be part of the smart urban stage project right up from the start here in Berlin until its culmination in Frankfurt. The first prize went to The People’s Supermarket from London: A supermarket serving as a transparent food supplier and a meeting place for the local community.
After the jump you’ll find our photos from the event and after party and the list of amazing bloggers we met on the smart urban stage.
How will the future of your city look like? Are we going to live in giant auto-sufficient and closed malls. Are we going to go back to nature cultivating tomatoes and salad on our rooftops? Will there still be an offline communication? Will there still be normal streets, playgrounds, parks and everything that makes our city unique? Or will Europe become one giant city? A neverending concrete desert without a single tree in sight? These are a few of the questions the event series and online project smart urban stage tries to investigate. Starting last year in May here in Berlin it now will find its grand finale this month with the last smart urban stage in Frankfurt. We are looking forward to go there to find out which are the best and most innovative ideas from eleven European metropolises. Check out the smart urban stage website to find out more and watch a sweet little teaser video after the jump to get the feeling for the project.
