Human Cities/SMOTIES develops spatial and service solutions by designing cultural and creative innovations in ten European small and remote places.

The project is part of the Human Cities network, a platform for interdisciplinary exchange, examining and acting to improve the liveability of indoor and outdoor public spaces to incubate innovative processes for social cohesion through participatory design.


Remote places & partners

The SMOTIES network is a partnership of ten design universities, research centres, creative agencies, and national associations. Each partner selected a small and remote place in their country to benefit from the design of cultural and creative regenerations within public spaces and in collaboration with local stakeholders.
