Context

Strengths Weaknesses

• Ecological functions
• Habitat for species
• Social functions
• Recreation
• History/Culture/Identity
• Nature experiences
• Confusing to find one’s way

around (orientation)

• Lack of green arteries and

connectivity

• Divided campus and lack of

continuity/ No feeling of one cohesive community Opportunities Threats

• Transform existing waterfront

parking into combined parking and housing

• Attract visitors by keeping and

enhancing strengths

• Shared Walkway could close

community divisions

• Waterfront housing

development

• Increasingly used by an

increased number of inhabitants

The Challenge

Improving Socio-Ecological sustainability: Bridging the gap between scales

• Design solutions that stay adaptable

and resilient into the future

• Reconcile the major goals of all

stakeholders

How to unbreak the Heart

What is resilience? It is the ability to maintain essential functions by adapting to change, and coping with shocks. Conditions necessary for resilience: Sufficient diversity (of ideas, resources and actors) Strong relationships (trust and good communication) Willingness to embrace change (open to new ideas and

• pportunities)

Our Solution

• Waterfront Walkway is the seed for

a sustainable development methodology in the Otaniemi Community

• Make a space for
• shared knowledge
• trust building
• and co-creation

Bridging the Gap

What is a Bridging Organization? A network of key individuals or groups able to represent all of the stakeholders, and create an atmosphere of shared learning and co-creation In the case of Otaniemi: Nordic Sustainable Campus Network (organizing transdisciplinary events like NCC, and bringing best practices from other campuses) Urban Mill (physical meeting space and solutions incubator) Competitions as a way to encourage cooperation of stakeholder groups involved in development projects

Conclusion

We see Otaniemi as: A Living Lab to test out new approaches in planning and collaboration

Applicable in many places, not just Otaniemi!

As a way to carry the ideas of the NCC forward, implementing transdisciplinary thinking to conquer the complex problems of Socio-ecological Sustainability
