Together Space ورشة مكان

Together Space is an independent platform specializing in the built environment and public sphere, led by Syrian professionals, academics, researchers, and activists with extensive expertise in urban planning, architecture, engineering, and development. Since 2018, our team has engaged in dialogues, conducted experiments, and produced knowledge through our work across conflict-affected countries such as Lebanon, Germany, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, learning from their experiences to inform community-led urban recovery in Syria. We leverage our academic and professional backgrounds to contribute to spatial justice and the sustainable recovery and reconstruction of Syria. VISION At Together Space, we envision a just Syria where all people have agency over their built environment, ensuring spatial justice, dignity, and inclusion. • Housing, infrastructure, resources, and mobility are equitably accessible, prioritizing the public good over private profit while balancing market mechanisms. • Syrians actively shape their spaces and local economies through transparent, participatory, and bottom-up decision-making. • Strategic partnerships foster spatial justice and social cohesion in urban governance, particularly in post-conflict and displacement settings • Spatial knowledge is transdisciplinary and widely shared, transforming education and practice across urbanism, architecture, engineering, sociology, and beyond. • Through public engagement, independent research, and policy recommendations, we empower civil society, grassroots movements, and policymakers to drive just and inclusive governance. Our success is measured not only by policy influence but by tangible improvements in daily life, where all people in Syria can live, work, and thrive in spaces governed by justice, inclusion, and sustainability. MISSION Together Space is an independent platform reclaiming spatial agency for Syrians through critical dialogue, participatory planning, and action-oriented researc
