WORK

Currently Managing Director of Eutropian GmbH in Vienna and Founder of Eutropian association in Rome.

Eutropian is a planning, policy and research organisation helping urban regeneration processes. We offer assistance to municipalities, NGOs and community groups in participatory planning, policy development as well as in fundraising, cooperations and communication. We are specialised in urban regeneration, cultural development, community participation, local economic development and social innovation, with a special focus on building development scenarios on existing resources. Current project comprise:
  • Temporary use as a tool for urban regeneration: Temporary use is a planning tool effectively bringing together various stakeholders: it engages an important number of municipal and private economic development agencies and property owners, as well as cultural organisations, to elaborate potential uses of existing infrastructure and resources.
  • Rethinking food markets: is a project that aims at elaborating strategies to revitalize declining marketplaces. Public spaces are created in interaction of various social groups. Marketplaces have traditionally constituted some of the most important public spaces, however, they gradually lost their role.
  • Funding the cooperative city: In the past decade, as an effect of various social movements and the economic crisis, many actors in the architecture and planning fields recognized that traditional funding models lost their capacity to feed small-scale, community-oriented urban projects.
  • Collaborative Planning: Collaborative Planning is a process that helps connecting and bringing together different actors to help transform our cities. We work together with local communities and invite international experts from around Europe to come together and elaborate ways to intervene in a local situation
