We need to advance new ways of thinking as a basis for radical innovation and social change.

The Transforming Cities community stimulates cutting edge knowledge exchange and collaborations among Utrecht University scholars, students and societal actors interested in sustainable urban transformations to advance new ways of thinking as a basis for radical innovation and social change. Through these events and collaborations we offer alternative entry points for co-developing transformative action in cities. 

Why Sustainable Urban Transformation Matters

 

With over half of the world's population now living in cities, sustainable transformation of urban environments is essential for creating livable, resilient spaces that meet the needs of both current and future generations while actively mitigating the impacts of climate change. Cities, with their diverse and dynamic nature, serve as ideal hubs for innovation and collective transformation.
