How to design better public spaces for everyone

Deteriorated, unsafe, or simply underwhelming public spaces—how can we turn them into vibrant, community-centred areas? Public participation is the key to bridging the gap between the needs of individual residents and the actions of policymakers.

In this video, Sergio Alvarado Vasquez introduces AMACHAN, a cutting-edge digital tool that incorporates spatial data to translate community input into actionable insights. Using a pilot study on the University of Twente campus, Sergio demonstrates how AMACHAN's tangible output can empower residents to communicate their needs.

This video shows that innovation alone only gets us so far. It's the people using the tools that make the difference. Because Sergio doesn't stop where AMACHAN does: the delivery of a report.

Get inspired by his ambition to bring citizens and policymakers together to collaboratively discuss the outcomes and learn what it takes to make a true impact (and what this impact has been so far!)

Watch to see innovation and passion in action!
