Transformcity developed a new and unique methodology which is highly integral and adaptive over time and actively engages all different big and small stakeholders as structural collaboration partners. Our methodology is very lean. It takes the complex and unpredictable urban situation as a starting point and builds on that, incrementally transforming the area while building the collective sense of ownership and investment power needed to keep the area attractive, liveable and sustainable also in the future. This new way of working is what we call collaborative urban development.

We have a background in spatial design and we strongly believe in the power of combining academic and strategic research, creative solution design and on-the-ground action. We are actively involved in academic research and in the international discourse on urban development and innovation. We lecture, publish and attend urban award juries and panels regularly.
