AndersUtrecht

AndersUtrecht, part of the Transforming Cities community, is a project that seeks to build a network of initiatives based in Utrecht that work towards ecological sustainability and social change.

Utrecht is home to many initiatives that are changing the urban fabric from within, ranging from formal associations to citizens’ movements. These organizations often hold an abundance of practical knowledge and organizing power. AndersUtrecht aims to build bridges between these organizations and the university to stimulate the co-production of knowledge about social transitions and in turn broaden our collective capacity for change. It does so by offering connection with each other and theory; by promoting the initiatives within academia and the city; and by offering support with expertise, resources, and research.

Interested in working together in this context as an academic or a grassroots urban actor? On the AndersUtrecht website you can find organizations that are already connected, what workshops are offered, and which research has recently been carried out.
