Urban Lexicons

How cities speak to us, & how we speak back

URBAN LEXICONS explores how understanding local identity through socially responsive design can evolve our cities and public spaces for the future.

Through active research, this community of practice explores, experiments and shares tools to understand the conversations between people and place. To include and reflect the people affected, their stories and hopes amid changing cities.

Places are made by many hands and disciplines – we need to bring together those who have the ideas and influence to shape cities for the long term, with those who understand the soft power of creation, communication and storytelling.
