Human Cities / Smoties - creative. Works with small and remote places

Human cities-SMOTIES: creative works with small and remote places is a four-year co-funded project by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union. Started in November 2020, and lasting until October 2024, the SMOTIES project belongs to the Human Cities network involving, since 2006, design, art and architecture universities, centres and consultancies. Spanning all Europe, it acts as a platform of interdisciplinary exchange, examining the livability of public spaces by using participatory design as an approach to supply systems of process and innovation. Starting from 2008, the Human Cities network has been funded by the Creative Europe - Culture sub-programme of the European Commission consolidating its approach and creating opportunities in several European contexts to implement innovative experimentations, nurturing networks and building capacity with local stakeholders, and using cultural values.
