Human Cities. Challenging the City Scale

The image depicts various pages and sections of a publication titled "Challenging the city scale," focused on the "Human Cities" project. The graphic layout alternates academic texts, vibrant red tables of contents, and large typographic titles in light blue, accompanied by photographs showing moments of urban transformation, such as a construction site and a community garden filled with people, illustrating the theme of social innovation and design in public spaces.

Human Cities is an European research project that explores how the inhabitants reclaim the constantly evolving contemporary city (especially through experiments in the urban pace) and ways of (re)inventing city life, as sources of wellbeing and quality of life.
The project is co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of The European Union, 2014-2018. The network includes 11 partners just as many European “human cities”: Milano (Italy), St. Etienne (France), Brussels (Belgium), Graz (Austria), Belgrade (Serbia), Bilbao (Spain), Cieszyn (Poland), London (United Kingdom), Helsinki (Finland), Ljubljana (Slovenia), Tallin (Estonia).
