CITY//CHANGEMAKER is a platform for urban innovation in emerging cities with a focus on the Mediterranean and Middle East region. It’s a joint  initiative from Rym Baouendi (Medina Works) and Ronald Lenz (Cities Next NL) who initially met at THNK: School of Creative Leadership and share a passion for the urban innovation movement led by a new generation of social entrepreneurs, such as themselves. In their work they aim to support these “city changemakers”, because collectively they can create a better, more sustainable future.

The core belief is in Smart Citizens: people that self-organize, create new services and products (online) and find new ways of distribution and sharing information.
