Urban Talks

Urban Talks was initiated during the COVID-19 period as a platform that brought together educators, professionals, and the general public to engage in meaningful dialogue on urban issues. Due to its strong reception and growing popularity, the Institute has continued this initiative beyond the pandemic.

Through Urban Talks, international speakers share their experience and expertise with a global audience comprising students, urban designers, professionals, and the wider public. The sessions focus on contemporary issues related to the urban fabric, drawing from practical insights gained through numerous projects across the world.

Each talk is followed by lively and engaging discussions, allowing participants to exchange ideas, ask questions, and critically reflect on the topics presented. Stay tuned for our next Urban Design Talk.
