MA Cities explores creative approaches to city-making at Central Saint Martins, a place of intense cultural production, generating critical creative practices in complex and conflicting urban settings. Through a propositional and enquiry-led approach, MA Cities challenges the conventions of urban research and city-making, and provides a platform for generating and implementing new forms of civic practice. Projects confront the pressing social, ethical and environmental concerns of the city and explore the value and agency of alternative practices from around the world. We understands cities, towns and other dense urban settlements as collaborative and contested spaces – created through interactions and individual practice day on day. The course engages in collaboration and knowledge exchange with a wide range of art, design, bureaucratic and architectural practices, external partners and organisations, using London as a test bed. Each cohort engages with theoretical and practice-orientated approaches, political and ethical positions and a range of scales and new methods of city-making.
