The night of ideas - ORIGINS AND IMPACTS OF GENTRIFICATION

"The Night of Ideas" is a mini conference that aims to discuss different aspects of gentrification and it's impact on "third places" and local communities.

Gentrification refers to the process of upscaling local areas, often resulting in higher housing prices and changes in population representation. The conference discusses how different interests can work together to create solutions which will benefit both social arenas and the local community.

The event is arranged by Norwegian-French institute in collaboration with Tou.
