II Quarterly Network Journal: A Deep Dive into the RECUP Network’s Season of Experimentation
Across Europe, cities are asking themselves a fundamental question: what if culture were treated not as an “extra,” but as essential urban infrastructure?
Infrastructure that can fight loneliness. Creates connections.
This is the mission of the REinventing Culture in Urban Places (RECUP) network — and the latest Quarterly Journal captures an incredibly dynamic phase of that journey.
Over the past months, partner cities have moved into the Adapt phase, where ideas become experiments and evidence. What emerges is a picture of cities learning by doing, guided by shared tools, reflection, local creativity and transnational collaboration.
