Human Cities is a European network of creative cities that leads research and organises actions around urban design.

Coming in Spring 2010, Brussels
A final Human Cities symposium and related events festival will be organized in Brussels (Belgium) in Spring 2010, bringing together pioneering institutions from all over Europe. All of them are actively developing new methods and approaches of urban design as a kind of promise for a better and more human-oriented environment. They will share the differentiated ways in which they respond to today's challenges, bringing forward the lessons learned from their most successful experiences.

Human Cities symposium and related events festival aim at reaching the largest number of people as possible and at fostering public commitment right in the prominent public spaces and through socio-cultural institutions that are running relevant Human Cities projects in locations such as streets, city squares and gardens, inner-city parks, busy thoroughfares or hidden alleyways, disused industrial sites... Real life installations and productions will challenge the unpredictable and informal human interventions. Human Cities could hopefully become the European reference for an upcoming Human Cities Design and Hacking Culture. It would become part of the urban regeneration process as well as it would propose alternative renewal strategies for the community through creative places to be.

Call for Entries
The call for entries is open to any person conceiving and producing visual material (be it photographs, documentary, fiction films, etc) whose subject is in any way related to cities, from environmental design to anthropology and all associated disciplines in between : architecture, landscape architecture and design, planning, urban design, lighting design, graphic design, public or urban art, sociology, anthropology and geography.

This event is meant to exhibit pertinent visuals which integrate the vision of Human Cities in order to enhance the understanding of the concept of Human Cites by a larger public. This visual material (ex: photographical reporting, video, creation of urban objects, etc.) will constitute the core of an exhibition which will be shown in the different partner cities.
