URBANA is an interdisciplinary urban research and design practice based in Athens, Greece. Rooted in feminist values, we work at the intersection of spatial research, social innovation, and architectural thinking to support more inclusive, caring, and equitable cities.
Our work combines applied urban research, participatory processes, spatial strategies, public engagement, and capacity building. We design and facilitate co-creation processes, develop gender-responsive and care-centered frameworks and tools, and conduct qualitative and interdisciplinary research supporting inclusive urban transformation.
With strong experience in EU-funded projects (Horizon, Erasmus+, LIFE, EUI), URBANA can contribute to projects within the “Natural heritage” mission by:
– leading spatial and social research, co-creation, stakeholder and community engagement processes
– applying participatory methodologies and tools in practice
– supporting pilot actions through strategic design frameworks, roadmaps, and policy briefs
– delivering capacity-building activities, workshops, and trainings
– evaluating and documenting social impact
We are open to co-developing project ideas or joining existing consortia, and are particularly interested in collaborations that value inclusion, participation, gender-responsive approaches, and collective pathways towards sustainable urban transformation.
