Design for Urban Synergies

A network of people, businesses and places to imagine and build the future of design together.

Manifesto Get on board →

Manifesto

A bridge of ideas, people and visions between Italy and Latin America, built with design.

MAP is born from shared action and takes its meaning from the participation of those who design the future as a common space.

01 / 03

M

Movement

Movement opens up possibility.

Reading the present to glimpse possible futures: setting ideas, people and places in motion.

02 / 03

A

Action

Action transforms.

From the map comes a plan, from the plan comes action: design as a tool for real change.

03 / 03

P

Participation

Participation gives meaning.

A map only has value when it is shared: listening, dialogue, building together.
