The Ideal City — Traveling Exhibition
Traveling Exhibition
The book The Ideal City – Exploring Urban Futurs showcases innovative projects from
53 cities around the world that are pioneering ways of living in urban spaces. In light of rapidly growing urban populations and global challenges such as social inequality and the climate crisis, planners are presenting creative solutions – from energy-positive buildings and communal housing and infrastructure projects to new forms of cohabitation. These examples are united by the goal of making cities more sustainable, equitable and liveable.
To provide a platform for these innovative ideas and make city residents aware of their cities' potential, the travelling exhibition ‘The Ideal City’ consists of five stations that take
up the main themes of the book and bring them to life in a playful, participatory way.
The stations are dedicated to the themes of sharing, safety, resourcefulness, playfulness and accessibility, and immediately address concrete elements of a liveable city. All stations in the exhibition are located in public spaces within a maximum of 15 minutes' walking distance of each other and offer shade, seating, play areas and bicycle parking spaces. Visitors are encouraged to pause and interact, learning how they can shape the future of their own city. The materials used are sustainably sourced, durably produced and reusable.
