Vienna "urbanize!" Festival: "It's about time" as Motto

"It's about time" is this year's festival motto of the "International Festival for Urban Explorations" running until Sunday. It is dedicated to "the times of the city, between historicity, everyday life, and the future, between rhythms and cycles, between lines and breaks. From the time factor in planning processes, from time horizons and cycles of the economy to time justice in everyday life," it says. The program includes lectures, workshops, city walks, a bike tour, films, and performances such as that by Lars Moritz on the opening night, which, like the talks "Planning: The Future of Space" (Wednesday, 7 PM), "The Times of the Economy" (Thursday, 7 PM), and "Space, Time, Justice" (Friday, 7 PM), will also be streamed live.
