urbanfest 2027

UrbanFest brings together people who care about cities and the environment around us: urbanists, architects, researchers, designers, activists and curious citizens.
The new edition is being assembled now. Speakers, workshops and the venue will appear here as they are confirmed. Participation will remain free.

UrbanFest already happened. Twice.
This section is for future guests, speakers and partners as much as for the archive. UrbanFest is not a promise on a landing page: it is rooms full of people, talks that spill into corridors, workshops and long conversations about Belgrade.
