RESEARCH & STRATEGY

We conduct research on the role of language in urban discourse and provide consulting to parties interested in fostering better interdisciplinary collaborations related to similar subjects.

CO-CREATION & WORKSHOPS

We believe that the language we use does not only describe our reality but also actively shapes it. UrgentCity offers workshops and co-creation support on projects related to urban challenges.

EVENTS
 

Events create unique moments of constructive debate between professionals from different fields that concern the future of cities. We organize meetings of minds that do not need to be alike.
