Designing Resilient Housing Solutions
This zone of the 036living city exhibition focuses on scalable housing models that respond to climate stress and affordability pressures. Visitors see modular components, cost breakdowns, and construction timelines presented alongside local regulations.
Architects, civil engineers, and residents collaborate in workshops to test how different materials, floor plans, and service systems perform under heat waves, floods, and supply disruptions. The displays emphasize comfort, accessibility, and long-term maintenance rather than short-term spectacle.
Sustainable Mobility and Urban Flows
Integrating Public, Shared, and Low-Carbon Options
Interactive maps and live dashboards illustrate how buses, bikes, and pedestrian routes connect neighborhoods with schools, clinics, and job centers. Scenario tools let visitors balance budget limits, emissions targets, and travel time goals to understand trade-offs in infrastructure planning.
The exhibition partners with the city transport authority to showcase pilot projects, including electric shuttle corridors and safe school streets, translating complex traffic engineering into clear, actionable insights.
Citizen Participation and Governance Innovation
Tools for Inclusive Decision-Making
Digital platforms and offline assemblies are on display, showing how residents can propose ideas, vote on projects, and monitor implementation. Facilitators demonstrate how feedback is categorized, prioritized, and fed into official planning cycles to strengthen accountability.
By presenting real governance experiments, the 036living city exhibition highlights practical methods for integrating community expertise into technical and political processes, aiming for more transparent and responsive cities.
Exhibition Technology and Infrastructure
The behind-the-scenes infrastructure that supports the exhibition includes sensor networks, projection mapping rigs, and secure data streams that power live visualizations. Technical teams explain how devices are calibrated, how privacy is protected, and how systems remain reliable during high visitor traffic.
Visitors can see low-energy lighting, modular furniture, and adaptable display structures that minimize waste and support reuse across future events, aligning the exhibition itself with sustainable operations.
