Skip the tourist trap!

Summer 2027 will see the first printed edition of The Anti-City Guide. An out of the ordinary travel guide that spotlights two European post-growth cities: Heerlen and Zenica.

The two cities are connected by shared histories and reveal a broader European urban narrative about growth, urban decline and their parallel struggles in finding a sustainable future.
