City, Care and Commons – the Autumn Academy brings together different disciplines, perspectives and stakeholders from academia, urban politics and administration, as well as from civil society. It builds bridges between past and future in order to discuss how life in cities can succeed – even in the face of multiple crises.

In the mornings, seminars with mentors take place. Afternoons are dedicated to excursions, exhibition visits and workshops, bringing groups together and into exchange with the exhibitions and partners of the Autumn Academy. Evenings are reserved for public discussions and cultural events.
