Manifesto for the Just Cty 2026

Hey, folks!

Registrations are now open for the 7th edition of the Manifesto for the Just City.

Over the last six editions, students from more than 100 cities and 50 countries have come together to debate some of the most pressing questions facing our societies: inequality, climate change, housing, democratic erosion, public goods, exclusion, and the future of our cities.

This year, we invite students from all disciplines and from anywhere in the world to join us once again.

📅 5, 12, 19 & 26 October 2026
🕕 18:00 CET (Amsterdam time)
💻 Online

The workshop consists of four online lectures and debates with leading scholars and practitioners in urban planning, urban theory, and spatial justice. Participants are then invited to work in groups of 3–6 people to write a Manifesto for the Just City: a short text (maximum 1,000 words) expressing their vision for a more just, sustainable, democratic and inclusive urban future.

Manifestos can be written in any language (with an English translation) and will be published in an open-access volume by TU Delft. Participants who attend at least two sessions and submit a manifesto will receive a certificate from TU Delft.

At a time when democratic institutions are under pressure, inequality continues to grow, and climate and social crises increasingly shape everyday life, we believe students have an important role to play in imagining alternative futures.

We would love to hear your ideas.



Please share this call with your students, colleagues, and networks.
