Culture and Sustainable Cities

In recent years, one can observe that Lisbon highly increased its number of annual tourists, changed policy making to create different forms of mobility, renovated public spaces, and underpinned many other changes, with consequences that deserve public attention and debate in different sectors. 
The ways of life on how each one lives and thinks sustainability is highly influenced by public policies, non governmental organisations, but also the local and individual spheres. 
Festival DME is associated to the space and organisation Lisboa Incomum and intends to promote debate surrounding different topics that connect different points of view of culture and sustainability.

The symposium themes are divided in areas such as:
- music, soundscape and ecology
- industries, policymaking and sustainability
- sustainability as a way of life
- environmental activism in art
