All Things Urban

Between October 24th-30th, 2021, 36 city chapters of the global Conscious Cities movement will come together for the Conscious Cities Festival 2021: The Person-Space Continuum (CCF2021). The Conscious Cities Festival is an annual event series at The Centre for Conscious Design (CCD) exploring the future of grassroots-up urbanism. Featuring talks, panels, workshops and other activities, the festival will explore the future of grassroots-up and science-informed citymaking. The Conscious Cities Festival 2021 will showcase some of the most unique talks, debates, workshops, forum, and curated artistic performances. Building upon Conscious Design’s emphasis on principles as solution frameworks rather than ‘one-size-fits-all solutions’, this year’s theme intends to facilitate and encourage cross-chapter problem-solving, co-creation, collaboration, and communication. The unique grassroots nature of organising the festival empowers and activates broad ecosystems of communities, decision makers, designers, researchers, technologists, funders, and artists to collectively, actively, and effectively envision the future of ‘Decentralised Spatial and Urban decision-making’. Here’s to building momentum for the collective aspirations of a growing Conscious Design Community. The CCF2021 has been co-sponsored by Conscious Design Kalpa (a postdisciplinary think-and-do tank based in India), Lombardini22 (One of Italy’s leading international architecture and engineering groups) and Hume (a science-informed design practice based in Israel).

The Centre for Conscious Design (CCD) is a think tank focused on using design to address urban issues facing society today and in the future. We see the continued urbanisation of the world population presenting both challenges and opportunities to building an environment that improves health, wellbeing, equity, and productivity.
