AMAKEN incorporates a group of architects, urban planners, landscape architects, designers, activists, public artists, and government experts. They are facilitators and initiators of activities and programs that help people transform spaces into places. Their experiences vary in depth and cover a wide range of specialities related to urban development. “Amaken Placemaking” is part of the global network “PlacemakingX” and works closely with Placemaking Europe Network.
