The Alliance began with people who said yes first.
An open platform for Europe’s urban future does not build itself. It takes companies willing to back an idea before it has proof, before the first issue, before the first reader. These are our founding partners, and we are proud to name them.
Without the support of the industry that shapes streets, roofs, façades, playgrounds and public space every day, the European Urban Future Alliance would never have come to life. This page is a simple, sincere thank-you.
Every one of these companies chose to stand behind a young platform with a long ambition: to make Europe’s urban knowledge easier to find, understand, share and use. They did not wait for the Alliance to prove itself. They helped make the proof possible.
They know cities from the ground up, from the bench on a square to the roof over a school, from the drainage beneath a street to the shade above a playground. That first-hand expertise, and their belief that urban transformation is shared work, is exactly what the Alliance was built to bring into one field of view.
To our founding partners: thank you. The Alliance exists because you believed in it first.
With gratitude,
Theresa Ramisch & Tobias Hager
