Cultural Creative Spaces and Cities (CCSC) shows that European citizens can be integrated into political decision-making through participatory processes through the creation of ‘Urban Labs’.
Urban Labs gather together cultural organisations, local authorities, cultural and creative spaces to explore urban challenges in collaboration with other stakeholders. Together, they commit to developing innovative solutions.

In this short documentary, hear from some of the key voices who represent the organisations and institutions that have been responsible for leading and organising the seven CCSC Urban Labs. From their experiences, they share valuable practical advice on how to set up and manage an Urban Lab, whilst also offering an insight into some of the challenges they faced, their learnings and how to make an impact in public policymaking.
The Urban Labs mini-documentary was produced by Trans Europe Halles for the EU project Cultural and Creative Spaces and Cities (2018-2021). More information about the project at
