Hub.UP is a group of student practitioners who challenge—and disturb— normalized urban processes. We aim to provide a platform for collaboration between those who design, those who build, and those who use the city every day. By creating a space for dialogue, research, education, and tactical intervention, we experiment with various forms of urban practice.
Our engagements are public and designed to foster reciprocal exchanges of knowledge. As active change makers, we participate in and contribute to dynamic, interdisciplinary urban practices.

Our methods are situated in pedagogical approaches. Reciprocal and reflexive work is at the heart of our practice : why is this important? for whom? to what end? are some of the questions we continue to embed and rework into our processes. Hub.UP has a strong commitment to develop cumulative interactions within the urban.
Our workshops are designed to bring together practitioners, researchers, the interested public, and everyday users of the city. Within these contexts we can foster interactive meaningful exchange for everyone involved, and reproduce accessible systems of inclusion within the urban realm.
