CTB Lab is a format provided by core members of the CTB-Consortium, addressing particular local challenges with existing CTB-platform tools while developing new ones in collaboration with cultural producers, local authorities, activists and academics.

CTB Lab aims at tackling challenges that have been left behind conventional in urban development or regeneration, underlying process-based knowledge formation and micro-urban interventions.

CTB Lab theme and method are co-created with a local partner, which helps choose adequate tools from the platform and propose week-long activity-plan (lectures, walks, workshops, etc.) with a vast variety of local agents.

CTB Lab serves as a capacity building format for locals, but also for members of CTB-Consortium. The practical step-by-step logic remains in the centre of this two-ways learning process, including all relevant factors from location search till funding difficulties.

CTB Lab also makes local activities and actors visible in the wider international context and provides channels for further communication and actions.
