We are a leading cultural placemaking consultancy
Futurecity is a cultural placemaking agen-cy that creates cultural strategies, brokers cultural partnerships and delivers major arts projects for clients across the pub-lic and private sectors. Founded by Mark Davy in 2007, Futurecity has produced over 125 cultural strategies, brokered over 20 cultural partnerships, and worked on over 100 artist commissions for clients across four continents. In 2017, Sherry Dobbin joined as Partner, bringing her expertise across new cultural development models, public-private partnerships, and international programming experience.
Futurecity believes culture is key to unlocking the power and potential of city space. We encourage architects, engineers, landscape designers, developers and city planners to integrate art and culture at the beginning of any project by collaborating with artists to provide a contemporary narrative for our towns, cities and urban centres. Futurecity devises innovative strategies, which have been sensitively constructed and developed into unique public art commissions across the UK, mainland Europe, North America, Asia and Australia.
D+I Statement
As a key part of our work, Futurecity commits to creating a diverse and inclusive working environment, promoting equity, and addressing under-representation.
We recruit talent based on capability and performance — regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, lifestyle, age, educational background, national origin, religion or physical ability. In doing so, we want every employee, associate and client to recognise a shared commitment to a culture supporting open collaboration and communication. Each of us contributes to creating an inclusive and diverse workplace—we all have a role to play.
Futurecity commits to use its voice and platforms such as cultural strategies, cultural partnerships, thought leadership, social media, website, mailers to encourage participation of a range of people, backgrounds and ideas to address socio-economic challenges.
We create measurable actions to commit to diversity and inclusion through our policies, employee handbook, job descriptions, performance reviews and by ongoing third-party facilitation. This is a constant process for full-team engagement to continually challenge our commitment and work practices.
We believe inclusive culture inspires us to try new things, speak openly, and be bold. It brings us together in ways that help us stand out which em-powers all of us to connect, learn, adapt
and grow.
