Festival Of The Future City Bath in Bath

Exciting arts and creativity hub, The Edge will host three days of talks, walks and workshops across the city centre.

With a focus on the complexities of a place like Bath, a city similar to Venice with UNESCO world heritage status, how should cities reinvigorate their character and economy when looking to the future?

Thanks to the master planning of John Wood Senior and Junior in the 19th Century, Bath could rightly claim to be one of the UK’s first future cities. But could it really make that claim today? Is there a city in the UK, or in the world that can?

In sync with the Festival of Future City in Bristol, the Bath programme explores three principal themes: Housing, The Artist and the City plus Great Architecture, both locally and globally. Join a variety of hosts and speakers – leading thinkers, writers, architects, artists and more – as they help signpost the way. Speakers include renowned socialist film director Ken Loach, architect Alison Brooks, chief curator at the Design Museum Justin McGuirk and author Anna Minton.
