This next big exhibition in The Danish Architecture Centre, "Reprogramming The City - Opportunities for Urban Infrastructure" is curated by urban strategist Scott Burnham, who explores a new paradigm of urban creativity and resourcefulness.

The city holds a vast amount of untapped ability. The structures, surfaces, objects and systems that underpin its daily operations have the potential to do more: to perform an alternate function, to encourage human interaction or assume an entirely new role in the mechanism of the city.

Curated by urban strategist Scott Burnham, Reprogramming The City explores a new paradigm of urban creativity and resourcefulness. Here, the hardware of the city is treated as a platform of opportunity, and infrastructure not as the end result of a previous creative process, but the beginning of a new one, creating better cities for people.

Reprogramming The City is an expanded version of the exhibition's first appearance at the Boston Society of Architects BSA Space Gallery.
