The International Festival of Urban Interventions (FIIU Fest) will celebrate its tenth edition from October 20 to 23, consolidating itself as a key space to rethink the way we build our cities. On this special occasion, the event will take place in Cusco, Peru, as part of the "Urban Encounter Week" from October 18 to 26, 2025. We return to Peru, to this emblematic city, to bring together diverse actors and exchange experiences, knowledge, and strategies that continue to promote a more inclusive, participatory, and people-centered urbanism.
Over the years, citizen-led urbanism has transformed the way we conceive and live the city, moving away from traditional approaches to embrace more collaborative planning processes that are sensitive to local perspectives. Cusco, with its cultural richness and profound connection to the territory, is the perfect setting for this dialogue. Here, urban growth faces the challenge of balancing development with the protection of heritage, local economies, and ecosystems, in a context where climate change and pressure on natural resources demand new solutions.
This festival is an invitation to rethink how we inhabit public space in a territory where city and nature have coexisted for centuries. Through panels, conferences, workshops, urban routes, and street activations, the FIIU Fest offers spaces for learning, exchange, and collective reflection — but above all, the opportunity to rediscover the city from where it truly begins: its public space.
