Stadslab was established in the summer of 2006 to create a European urban design laboratory where professionals and academia would meet to exchange knowledge and know-how, while addressing real time cases proposed by our hosting cities. After six years our track record consists of strategic design studies for cities and regions in Poland, Hungary, Ukraine, Georgia, Serbia, Japan and the Netherlands. More than eighty participants took part in these studies, representing over 15 nationalities and varying degrees of professional experience in different fields. Programmess for cities both within and outside of Europe are currently being developed. One of Stadslab aims is to train local professionals in design methodology and international exchange. A new Stadslab publication is now available online. The 52 pages booklet is a comprehensive presentation of the results of the October 2012 Master Class on Mobility and Urban Transportation in Fukuoka, the largest city on the southern Japanese island of Kyushu. The proposal for a new hierarchy of bus-lines to fight congestion and redundancy is at the core of the Master Class results.
