The first workshop focused on developing the vision for the competition area. The workshop discussed what is essential for the future development of Sibbesborg, and the key objectives for planning the community. These objectives will frame the competition programme and the evaluation criteria.

The second workshop discussed the new requirements that planning of a sustainable town sets on the competition programme, and the evaluation of the entries. This workshop challenged the traditional planning competitions by asking how do we link the sustainability objectives to the competition programme. How, for example, open communication and interaction could become included in a planning competition?

In the third workshop the results of the previous workshops were combined, and the participants began to integrate the future vision of Sibbesborg and the requirements of the competition. The workshop continued the discussion on how do we set the criteria for planning sustainable communities, and above all, called for concrete ideas on organizing and programming the Sibbesborg 2011 competition.

The fourth workshop was held in the Sipoonlahti school 22.11.2010 between 17:30–20:00 o’clock. Workshop was aimed to the residents and other actors in the area. Video was taken from the workshop, and it could be watched (see the link below). Languages spoken are Finnish and Swedish. We want to thank you all, who answered the query!
