“The jury of the “AM I included?” competition asked itself: which party can really help AM to realize an inclusive city? Unanimously choosing the vision of Camila Pinzon Cortes and Pepijn Verpaalen (URBANOS). This team succeeds in making AM think differently about who she is and who the other is in the city. The central concept of empathy (for all parties involved in an area) is the starting point for a joint exploration. In practice, the vision and steps of the team can be well developed into an AM method, involving the entire company, thus bringing URBANOS as the winner of this matchmaking. “
Beautiful words and of course we are very excited that with our submission “Wrijven van Subculturen” (“Rubbing of subcultures”) we have won the international “AM I Included?” competition about the inclusive city. The competition had several steps; the formulation of a vision, a presentation y eight selected teams and a matchmaking to discuss the vision with the jury in which the last four finalists participated. The competition was organized by area and real estate developer AM with the aim of strengthening innovation about inclusiveness in the city.
