Services
URBANA is an interdisciplinary urban research and design practice based in Athens. We explore how cities can be reimagined through care, equity, and collective knowledge rooted in feminist values.
Our work sits at the intersection of spatial research, social innovation, and architectural thinking. We contribute to the transformation of urban environments by combining participatory methods with critical, technical, and design-based expertise. We collaborate with international networks, municipalities, academic institutions, and communities to generate new tools, insights, and inclusive solutions for our cities and territories.
Applied Urban Research
We lead and support qualitative, spatial, and interdisciplinary research projects that explore how people experience and shape urban environments — with a focus on equity, care, and inclusion. We provide:
- Spatial and social research design
- Intersectional and gender-sensitive analysis
- Lived-experience and care-centered methodologies
- Fieldwork (interviews, mapping, exploratory walks, focus groups)
- Policy recommendations and knowledge outputs
Participatory Processes & Public Engagement
We design and facilitate inclusive processes that bring communities, stakeholders, and institutions into dialogue, enabling collective visioning and shared ownership of urban transformation. We provide:
- Design and facilitation of co-creation processes
- Participatory tools (mapping, walks, workshops, etc.)
- Engagement plans and communication strategies
- Stakeholder and community consultation strategies
- Public programming, exhibitions, and awareness actions
- Feedback and reporting mechanisms for cities and partners
Urban Visioning & Spatial Strategy
We develop strategic concepts and spatial frameworks that reflect the lived experience of diverse communities and support inclusive urban transformation. We provide:
- Spatial visioning and scoping studies
- Gender-responsive and care-centered urban concepts
- Conceptual and visual tools for planning or policymaking
- Input for urban regeneration and spatial justice strategies
- Collaboration in interdisciplinary design and planning teams
