About URBANUM

Urbanum (http://urbanum.hu) 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. We provide an event space for joint reading, book and journal launches, talks and many more; organize educational courses on hot topics of contemporary urbanism and related creative practices; curate and realize artistic and research exhibitions; and explore digital data analysis, mapping and archiving solutions.

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.
