Dwelling Matters is an Amsterdam based consultancy focusing on quality urban living. We facilitate knowledge exchange in social and affordable housing provision, placemaking, and cultural planning, drawing on our international comparative experience and learning networks. Through research, workshops, design challenges, and site visits for urban professionals, we identify good practices, giving attention to what makes them work in each local context and which aspects are transferable. We help cities, organisations, and communities translate international best practices into locally-grounded solutions to create better, more inclusive places to live.
