URBANBATfest is a festival that acts as a laboratory—or a laboratory that evolves into a festival. It is a research process focused on urban transformations and an environment for learning, experimentation, and collective creation designed to drive urban innovation.
In this new edition of URBANBATfest, under the theme "No future," we are opening a space for reflection on the future of cities. We are examining the responsibility of architecture and urban planning within this context of multidimensional crisis, their complicity and forms of resistance, their possibilities and limitations, their tools and working methodologies, their relationship with other disciplines, their areas of intervention, their capacity to create new imaginaries, and how to cohabit the present and the future.

Diagrams, transpositions, and space: alternatives for contemporary urban complexity. Credits: Paco Editorial
Immaterial flows characterize the urban condition in the era of globalized information, intensifying its existing complexity. Temptations to return to the past, or a penchant for the radical or purely virtual, accompany the uncertainty of a landscape undergoing profound social transformations. To intervene in a perceptible way, a new cohesion is required, provided by a diagrammatic unfolding of the urban condition and a move beyond form-based urban readings. This new arrangement aims to reveal more than the simple sum of its parts.
