About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours

Urban Hosts is a programme of events, which provokes and promotes practices and approaches to how we live in and govern cities.

Established in 2013, the programme has taken place in cities across Europe with its home base now in Bristol and Berlin. Bringing people together who are actively producing alternatives to how we currently live in cities the 2024 programme focuses on participatory and community-centred approaches to artificial intelligence, restorative cultures, liveable neighbourhoods and the urban commons.

Sharing their views and approaches to how neighbourhood change is catalysed through local relations, processes and policies, our guests for this edition share learnings from Bristol-based initatives.
