The Use of Design with New Technologies to Create Living Conditions and Public Participation

Maciej Jakub Zawadzki – CEO, MJZ & LURE

In this talk, Maciej Jakub Zawadzki explores how the fusion of design and emerging technologies can transform the way we live, participate, and interact within our cities.

Zawadzki discusses how technology can enhance public participation, making planning and design processes more transparent, inclusive, and accessible. By integrating community input with advanced design methods, his work demonstrates how co-creation can lead to better living conditions, stronger engagement, and more democratic urban futures.

Drawing on experiences from MJZ and LURE, he showcases projects where design, tech, and urban life converge to create spaces that are adaptable, interactive, and deeply connected to the needs of citizens.
