About Urban Practice
Urban practice is common good oriented. Urban practice is self-organized. Urban practice shapes the city from below.
Urban practice is located at the intersection of art, culture, architecture, education, and social issues. Experimental formats enable a holistic view of the city as an organism and make it possible to experience a community-oriented coexistence in the city. Urbane Praxis e.V. is an association of various actors. Together, we demand freedom for action - also at the political level.
Association
In summer 2022 Urbane Praxis e.V. was founded. The association facilitates the continuous exchange between practitioners, administration and politics and thus promotes the sustainable transformation of interdepartmental structures in urban development.
