THE FESTIVAL THAT BROUGHT THE CITY TOGETHER.
The nUH 2026 recap: two days of exploring the city through ideas, workshops, art, exhibitions and community. Stay close for the next edition.
nUH 2026 showed how people shape the city.
nUH brings together communities, experts, creators, institutions and families in an open format built around the ideas and questions shaping the future of urban life.
In 2026, this approach became a multidisciplinary programme of conversations, round tables, interviews, tours, participatory workshops, exhibitions, film screenings and artistic interventions, creating space for exchanging ideas, collaboration and new perspectives on the city.
nUH 2026 in numbers
nUH 2026 brought urban ideas closer to people and people closer to one another. Interdisciplinary speakers, workshops, exhibitions, screenings and a network of partners made the festival possible. We are carrying this energy into the next edition.
