»Young Energies« visited the countries’ most successful urban-themed projects, interviewed their protagonists, tendered an international video competition and, together with the winners and experts, build a ship named »Pontonia«. It was a floating modell of a utopian city in 1:1 scale. Power generation and water purification was provided for. An alternative economic system was experimented with and a genuine democracy regulated the project progression. A launching ceremony had »Pontonia« leave the safe harbor and head for the government district of Berlin-Mitte. The accessible utopia was a central part of the international expert conference for urban planning at Haus der Kulturen der Welt (House of World Cultures) Berlin.

Together with »Urban Catalyst Studio«, »Mellow Park Berlin« and other experts for urbanism and urban planning, we designed a documentary evaluation of results and supported the plans in a variety of media and formats.
