What is urban culture?
Urban culture consists of practices shaped by shared life, work, travel and public space in a city.
Origins, forms and everyday life
Markets, squares, parks, neighborhoods and transit create encounters. Urban culture is not limited to monuments: migration, music, everyday language and technology continually reshape it. Neighborhood experiences differ.
Meaning, change and safeguarding
Accessibility, housing, green space and participation directly affect cultural life. A neighborhood’s story should include residents’ needs, not solely a visitor’s viewpoint.
