The Festival of the Future City
Produced by Bristol Festival of Ideas
A year-long programme of work and the largest debate ever about the future
of the city, bringing together thinkers, writers, artists, think-tanks,
governments and the public. The festival will look at the future sustainable,
resilient city, and aspects of city life – creating, living, working, educating,
playing and developing.

visionary. Gates’ Bristol project will grow from the artists' interest in the
reinvigoration of lost skills and materials, harnessing the artistic talent and
creative drive of the city
