The city from all angles

Our philosophy

 

The city, from all angles. Urbanum is an interdisciplinary think tank and research foundation, fostering a comprehensive understanding and representation of the contemporary urban tissue, along with the investigation of practical improvement and innovation scenarios. The three pillars of our concept, called metaurbanism, are theory: academic research, podium discussions, multidisciplinary discourses; practice: future-proof urban planning methods, neogeography, digital cartography, data-based smart city solutions; and imagination: artistic approaches, exhibitions, creative city communication.

Interdisciplinarity

We find that the future of the city, of all the cities we live in, depends on forging a common, inclusive, interdisciplinary understanding. Urbanum is a supradisciplinary space where thoughts create a synthetiCity.

Collaborative

We provide an intellectual space where urban enthusiasts can exchange ideas, perspectives. Urbanum is a discussion forum and a project facilitator – believing in multipliCity.

Open

We welcome everyone and everything, be it an impulse, or a project sparkle, or just a good conversation. Urbanum is a continuous discussion balancing theory and practiCity.
