Creative Urban Methods (CRUM)

On ‘street level’ one hardly notices the infrastructural networks that have an impact on our experiences and wellbeing, enable us to live, work and move around in the contemporary urban environment. However, when it comes to contemporary urban challenges around sustainability, participation in public life and collaborative city making will only take place when urbanites are aware of, and have insight in the functioning of, the networks they are part of. To develop this ‘infrastructural thinking’ in such a way that urbanites themselves can be productively engaged with these challenges, we create a transdisciplinary toolkit for creative urban methods. Both usable for citizens, students and policy-makers.

 

Initiated by [urban interfaces] this interdisciplinary group unites scholars from the with researchers from the different faculties of Utrecht University and takes place under the umbrella of the Focus Area: Pathways to Sustainability, for the Transforming Cities HUB.
