Alternative Urban Futures

Doing the urban differently

25 sep 2019 20:00 - 22:00

More than ever, alternative urban futures are needed for an urban world that is socially just, environmentally sustainable, and capable of caring for the diversity of urban life. How can policy makers, activists, students and scholars enact change by 'doing the urban' differently? This event marks the launch of two co-edited books that cover such alternative urban spaces across civic, private, and public spheres.

During this evening, a selection of speakers present their work on alternative urbanism in Amsterdam. Join us for an international dialogue on the production of alternative urban spaces.

The event marks the launch of two co-edited books that cover such alternative urban spaces: ‘Enabling Urban Alternatives’ and ‘The Production of Alternative Urban Spaces’. This event is of immediate relevance to anyone – from policy makers and activists to students and scholars – committed to making a difference for urban dwellers in diverse settings. Rising above a mere collection of contributions from different case studies and urban practices, the event critically explores the conditions under which actors enact change by doing the urban differently. The inventory of alternative urban futures is rich and traverses the globe, including policy issues, social order and urban norms in diverse local contexts.
