The challenge
Making urban identity visible
Cities are facing huge upheavals: Vacancy, digital disruption, climate change, new mobility. But real transformation can only succeed if people identify with their city – if they understand what it stands for.
A city’s brand is created in the mind – and in the sum of all experiences with it.
This is exactly where we come in.
