Description

Nick Dunn (UK, 1974) is Executive Director of ImaginationLancaster, an open and exploratory design research lab at Lancaster University, where he is Professor of Urban Design. He is also Associate Director of the Institute for Social Futures, where he leads research on the Future of Cities. Dunn's work responds to the contemporary city and is explored through experimentation and writing on the nature of urban space: its design, appropriation and regulation.

His latest book, Dark Matters: A Manifesto for the Nocturnal City (Zero, 2016), is an exploration of walking as cultural practice, the politics of space and the right to the city.
