The National Cultural programme ”Timișoara – European Capital of Culture in 2023” put to work a new civic energy, and contributed to Timisoara's identity as an avant-garde, multi-cultural and dynamic space, a place where worlds meet and find common languages in real time, shaping the culture of being together, of people being the real city. We are witnessing this co-creation with a multitude of stakeholders, and collaboration is essential. Where and under what conditions are the links between bottom-up city-making and top-down urban policy implementation made? How can participatory practices and collective governance of projects and institutions change how we imagine building the city?
