The Spontaneous City International (SPcitI) is an urban planning think tank.
We see planning projects as the spatial embedding of human activities that has to be dealt with in an integral and constantly up-to-date approach.
In the midst of the continuous global urban growth, living and working are becoming more intertwined than ever. Living encompasses more and more productive activities, trespassing the spatial conventional designation of work and housing areas. At SPcitI we address the spatial challenges posed by these changes. That is why we consider as core issues today’s spatial-economic transition, the primacy of collective values, and the scale of daily activities.
SPcitI’s expertise is to research, design, advise and facilitate development visions and strategies for mixed-use and inclusive spaces which integrate and reflect the end users economic and social interests both in the process and in the spatial outcome.
We work, in the Netherlands and internationally, on diverse kind of projects about urban development and revitalisation. Our approach is based on the principles of the Spontaneous City book and we always work through a multi-stakeholder and a multi-disciplinary processes.
