Join us to build Happy City and explore how we can create content communities. Explore technology that could shape cities of the future and add to our growing model town.

What do you want cities of the future to look like? Join the Science Museum to build Happy City and explore how we can create content communities. You’ll meet technicians, engineers and scientists, and take part in activities that explore the latest in building design, green spaces and transport.

Take inspiration from cutting edge tech and add your contribution to the streets, parks and homes of a growing model city. Through paper crafts and model building we’ll grow Happy City throughout the Great Exhibition Road Festival weekend. Watch it shift and change as you contribute your vision for the future.
