The Goethe-Institut’s Urban Utopias project explores the transformation of neglected urban spaces. At its core is the question of how urban environments can be developed in collaboration with local actors to meet social, ecological, and functional needs alike. The project is being implemented in Ankara, Belgrade, Yerevan, and Skopje.

To conclude the project, participants from all four cities will come together to discuss experiences, tools, and strategies for socially just and ecologically sustainable urban development.

Arsen Abrahamyan, Dušana Nikolić, Stefan Tankov, and Kıvanç Yalçıner are participants in the Ecological Futures residency program, a joint initiative of ARCH+, the Goethe-Institut, and Spreepark Art Space:
