ARCAM, the Amsterdam Centre for Architecture, will have an exposition named WeOwnTheCity on show in the end of September. This exposition portrays emerging urban initiatives in Amsterdam, connecting research with photography. Three Amsterdam-based organizations (CITIES, GUP and ARCAM) worked together for the first time to celebrate new urban development trends through an exhibition.
WeOwnTheCity maps the development of small-scale initiatives into new types of urban centers by exploring the potential disconnect between local government, public policy and local urban initiators. The exhibition intends to spark discussions and debates with the goal of understanding how to adapt to a changing urban development context. Photographer Marten van Wijk displays locations in Amsterdam that are developed in a bottom-up fashion.
ARCAM is open for public from Tuesday to Saturday (1pm - 5pm). The centre is located east from Amsterdam's Central Station, on Prins Hendrikkade 600.
