    Incubator for Place-based Ecosystems

    Incubator for Place-based Ecosystems for the revitalization of latent spaces in shrinking areas

    I started testing and developing this concept in two medium-small towns in Romania, namely Făgăraș and Reșița (30 and 75k inhabitants respectively) since 2016 gradually building networks of trust, bridging local organizations with outside expertise and sparking small scale demonstrative acts, to lead to critical yeast of ideas and successful collaborations of a network of now ready to assume longer term and higher scale aims. Since 2022, I have set the grounds to replicate this type of catalyzer work in other small urban and rural communities in Romania, engaging with a first cohort of 7 local organizations to initiate revitalization processes of space relevant for local tourism and community development. While I do intend to continue work with our basecamps, we also want to expand to a broader cohort of such networks., Romania
