CityDNA Autumn Conference 2025, Tórshavn

Silo | Torshavn

Rather than defaulting to overused frameworks of sustainability and regeneration, this conference proposes a sharper, more actionable lens: reshaping, rebalancing and reigniting what tourism means for cities of all sizes.

From the vantage point of a small, resilient and deeply rooted place, we’ll unpack failures and successes with candour and curiosity — exploring what didn’t work and why, as well as what should be retained and reimagined.

Themes will include:

  • The Power of the Peripheral: How small destinations offer scalable, adaptable models for major cities
  • The Visitor Economy Reimagined: From volume to value, from transactions to transformation
  • From Talk to Tools: AI, data and tech that enable smarter, more human-centred planning
  • The Citizen Lens: Designing with residents, not around them
  • From Failure to Fortune: Examining setbacks and triumphs to cultivate future growth and resilience

Tórshavn is not just a location; it’s a methodology. Its remoteness encourages a slowing down, a deeper connection and a more meaningful exchange of ideas. The format will reflect this, with “walkshops”, campfire conversations, peer-to-peer forums and more time for dialogue than monologue.

So welcome to Tórshavn!
