Welcome to Up:town - a serious game designed to address the need for innovative approaches in envisioning sustainable futures amidst the challenges of urban living.

In today's world, urban areas are at the forefront of global ecological, social, and economic crises. It's crucial that we explore new ways to tackle these issues head-on. Up:town, developed at the City Science Lab at HafenCity University Hamburg, is a transformative tool that offers a fresh perspective.

Up:town isn't just a game; it's a methodology for collaborative urban futuring and critical reflection. By immersing participants in a fictional yet realistic urban environment, the game challenges them to navigate through various social, economic, and ecological shocks. Through role-playing and participatory decision-making, players are empowered to explore different scenarios and collectively shape potential solutions.
