Urban Future is a European organisation dedicated to fostering sustainable urban development. Founded in Graz, Austria, it has grown from a local urban mobility workshop into a global community of over 50,000 urban change-makers and 200+ organisations. The organisation's mission is to support individuals in transforming their cities for the better by providing actionable know-how, inspiration, and networking opportunities.
Urban Future achieves this through large-scale events, such as the annual Urban Future conference, which brings together experts and practitioners to share knowledge and solutions on sustainable urban transformation. The organisation focuses on practical, hands-on approaches to urban change, aiming to bridge the gap between theory and action.
Key to Urban Future's approach is its emphasis on community and collaboration. The organisation connects the next generation of urban change-makers with current leaders, facilitating the exchange of ideas and best practices. This approach has earned Urban Future recognition from various stakeholders, including cities and international organisations, who see it as a platform for driving positive urban change.
With its upcoming event, UF25, scheduled for May 2025 in Łódź, Poland, Urban Future continues to expand its reach and impact across Europe and beyond. By fostering a community of urban change-makers and providing them with the tools and knowledge needed to transform cities, Urban Future plays a significant role in shaping the future of urban sustainability.
