City Mine(d) operates at the nexus of architecture, urban development and urban activism.

Since its creation in 1997, City Mine(d) blends innovative design with change towards a more sustainable and fair city in an inclusive and open way. In recent years City Mine(d) put in place a bottom-up approach to urban development. Its trajectories on concrete sustainability topics in a specific neighbourhood can run up to 5 years. They aims at bringing citizens together within their community, among communities, and between citizens and the different institutions that shape the city. In doing so it strengthens voices that often remain unrepresented in the public debate.

Since 2010 City Mine(d) focusses on longer-term processes that combine local with sustainable development. It looks at global topics, like Employment (Micronomics), Water (Friche Eggevoort) or Electricity (La Pile), assesses their local impact, but more importantly together with local residents searches for the agency citizens can obtain in these topics.
