Projects

The work of urbz has strived to emphasize the importance of people-centred design, the value of co-creation at the neighbourhood level, the significance of civic participation in planning processes and the idea that a range of different skills are part of the urban processes beyond architecture and planning – this includes social anthropology, engineering, studies of local economies, mobility and creative practices.

Fictional imaginaries help us move towards an important starting point in urban practice - 'recognition'. A way of seeing that transforms our understanding of urban spaces.
