In May 2022, the public event “Athens’ Futures” took place at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA). It was organised by the Chair of Sustainable Urbanism at the Technical University of Munich in collaboration with the School of Architecture at NTUA. The event formed part of an international workshop week involving students and faculty members from Athens, Munich, Thessaloniki, Patras, and Chania.

The programme featured presentations of student work on urban interventions in Athens, a panel discussion with representatives from academia, planning practice, and public administration on the future development of cities, as well as a keynote lecture by Josep Bohigas on contemporary urban development strategies in Barcelona. The event concluded with the opening of an exhibition showcasing the work produced during the workshop.

The event was part of the research project “Inner-Urban Landscapes of Athens” and was supported by the Schwarz Foundation.
