Cities are landscapes of ideas. In their stories, streets, buildings, and public spaces, traces of the past meet the challenges of the present — offering clues, contrasts, and inspirations for how we might live today.

STADTGEIST seminars take you into these urban worlds to explore the big questions of our time: how do we live with purpose in a complex, fast-changing world; how do we reconnect with each other, and with the places we inhabit?

I use history, heritage, and visionary urban thinking of the past and present not to hand out ready-made answers, but to open space for fresh perspectives and meaningful conversations.
