What are the dilemmas facing cities and architecture today? What makes a city of the future? How is the public realm shaped by its various users through participation and collaboration? This public event aims to address some of these questions and explore the emergence of various social consciousness movements in architecture and social design and how these relate to contemporary artistic practice.

The discussion includes case studies from Latin America amongst other examples. Speakers include Justin McGuirk author of Radical Cities alongside Andreas Lang from , a London-based non-for-profit art and architecture practice.
