What happens to the bold ideas and visionary masterplans that never see the light of day? On the afternoon of May 29, step into an imaginary atlas with architect Robert Stephens as he takes the Utopian Hours stage. Through his acclaimed research project Bombay Imagined, Stephens explores the fascinating, unbuilt utopias of the world’s densest megacity. Unearthing rare urban plans and fantastical projects from the archives, he reveals how these forgotten visions can still inspire today’s urban designers. Join us for a unique journey into the “what-ifs” of urban development, discovering how unbuilt histories can shape the future of our cities.
