This series of one-week workshops gives you the chance to visit, work and experience one or more cities across the world under the supervision of leading researchers and practitioners from the Development Planning Unit (DPU) at The Bartlett, UCL.
The interdisciplinary programme is intended to provoke, stimulate and help reconsider the role of designers in promoting spatial justice.
It's aimed at students and emerging professionals with backgrounds and/or a keen interest in the urban environment.
Each year a number of cities are chosen to host the various summerLabs, with the input of partners from all over the world. In summer 2018, Labs will be held in Amman, Ulaanbaatar, Bar Elias, Athens and London.
