About
Jennifer Bewerse joins SpacePants to create a video and performance installation for the Envisioning Urban Futures Symposium with the theme "More-than-human Cities"
We can only plan for the future we want if we imagine that future in the first place. Join us as we ask scientists, artists, engineers, writers and other experts from across the disciplines to envision the cities of tomorrow.
Can we make cities more sustainable, resilient, livable, and healthy by moving beyond a human-centric design philosophy?
More-than-human cities is a concept that recognizes and incorporates the needs and agency of non-human species—plants, animals, fungi, and microbes—in urban planning and design. Join us in exploring this theme at our next gathering, which will take place on Wednesday, January 28th, 2026 in Hunt Library on NC State’s Centennial Campus.
