Our Future Cities Network

Across South Africa

Our network comprises inspiring people with a desire to improve city life and impact our planet positively. From content development and research to studying cultures, conducting design analysis and engaging stakeholders – on a freelance, consulting or project basis you will help to drive projects at various stages.

We are particularly interested in people who have lived experience and networks in the city, site or context of the specific project.

We encourage practitioners from all sectors, fields and backgrounds who work in the urbanism or built environment fields but we are primarily interested in early and mid-career applicants to join our network. Project work includes design, research, content development, stakeholder engagement and tasks related to specific projects or programmes.

In the past we have worked with economists, planners, anthropologists, designers, heritage practitioners, researchers, academics, engineers and artists.
