Launched by Pro Materia in 2006, Human Cities is a platform of interdisciplinary exchange, using participatory design as a tool to supply systems of process and innovation. After the previous Creative Europe funded projects (2008-10 Human Cities/Celebrating public space, 2010-12 Human Cities/Reclaiming public space and 2014-18 Human Cities/Challenging the city scale), a brand-new research project has started: 2020/24 Human Cities/Smoties-CREATIVE WORKS WITH SMALL AND REMOTE PLACE. Human Cities platform applies its approach to 10 small and remote European places which are depopulated, relationally remote and depositories of a material and immaterial culture that risks being undervalued, not consolidated, not handed down, and hence lost.
