A-GRUPA is a network of women urban professionals engaged in processes of activation and management of urban space. We bring complementary experiences from architecture and urban planning, arts and culture, sociology, education, and active citizenship.
City-making should be democratic, situated, and transformative. We are dedicated to bridging communities and institutions through participatory methodologies and cooperative proposals, grounding our work in co-production, co-governance, and the belief that lasting change emerges from shared care.
We believe the greatest wealth of cities lies in their people and ideas. That’s why we build bridges between local knowledge, practical and academic expertise, public policies, and collaborative technologies. We bring residents, local governments, businesses, and nonprofits together to cooperate in building healthier, fairer, and more innovative cities.
Let’s change the city for the better, together!
