Tommi Laitio

Urbanist and experienced leader in cities for and with people.

I speak, write, and help organizations in turning the opportunities and friction of cities into great services, places, policies, and workplaces.

“Convivencia is a cooperative state between harmony and open conflict, which emphasizes practice, effort, negotiation, and accommodation. In convivencia, we do not strive to resolve differences but have the capabilities and the willingness for collective action. When we build on friction, we can make wonderful and fair things happen."

— Tommi Laitio
