I currently live in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I get to experience what a liveable city can look like every day. I work with local organisations and have 3+ years\u2019 experience in participatory and sustainable city making. I have led a dozen of urban projects, where I designed and facilitated collaborative processes with cities, associations, companies, and citizens. In practice, I have designed and animated more than a hundred workshops.<\/p>

I have always been fascinated by cities. But unlike people who go on city trips to visit iconic monuments, I observe everything that happens between buildings: the people, the way they interact with the city, the layout, the walking paths, and the many human stories, real and imagines.<\/p>

You can imagine my disappointment when I realised that in my civil engineering and urban planning studies, \u201clife between buildings\u201d was not part of the curriculum. Committed to learning more, I pursued my studies in Sweden, focusing more on placemaking, collaborative tools for city making, urban sociology, and urban design. In other words, I learned more about how to design cities for people instead of for cars.<\/p>

This inspired my passion for everything that could help me understand the behaviour of people and the dynamics of behaviour change in cities. I believe that the actors in a city have a role in transforming urban spaces into places that can unlock human capital and promote empathy, open-mindedness, and cooperation \u2013 these qualities are key to prepare our cities for the challenges of the future. And that is why I want to help placemakers realise their full potential and communicate their amazing ideas and initiatives.<\/p>

If you would like to find out more about the human, almost invisible dynamics in the city, visit my blog<\/a> \u2013 you will also see how I visualise these fascinating interactions (which I call the urban mycelium).<\/p>

And if you want to dive right in, visit my resources page<\/a> to find free printables that will help you start your placemaking process.<\/p>
