urbanXchange acts on an urban area where processes of transformation, transition or consolidation takes place. Taking into account the complexity of the phenomena and the ongoing conflict in the contemporary urban space, urbanXchange use a transdisciplinary approach combined with a participatory methodology in relation to the territory in which it operates.

The aim is to develop tools and to create synergies and collective strategies able to cope with problems, requests or demands which are often very complex.
