Our mission
Territory is a political construct. Society determines how it organises itself spatially, which infrastructures it develops and which projects it pursues. Every territorial decision inevitably affects all those who inhabit and use space, benefiting some while disadvantaging others.
Our aim is to make these dynamics explicit, enabling communities to take informed, considered and collectively supported spatial decisions.
