Urban practice

The notion of urban practice is based on the belief that art, design and creative practices can make profound changes to urban space and contribute to improving our everyday lives in cities. It is participatory and emerges from the collaboration between individuals, groups and institutions holding different forms of knowledge. In reflecting on urban practice, we ask: what are the relations between different forms of practice including art, activism and social policy? How can creative practice gain from engagement with social/political discourse, and vice versa?
