Your Urban Stories HS25 is an end‑of‑semester exhibition that showcases student-led, comparative research on cities from every continent, developed through the Urban Stories lectures, Workshop, and Seminar. Under the theme “Co‑creating a Toolbox for Design,” the exhibition presents group projects that analyze urban strategies across disciplines and time, with a focus on ESG (environmental, social, and governance) and thematic perspectives. Visitors are invited to explore analytical writing, maps, drawings, and visualizations that reflect a systems-oriented approach to urban design challenges, and to discover how students interpreted different urban environments through dialogue, cooperation, and peer review. Featuring outputs in both physical and digital formats, Your Urban Stories offers a global lens on how cities work — and how we can design them in the context of pressing socioecological issues.
