Clients & Partners

Make_Shift devised the MakeCity Festival – with over 100 founding partners and leaders in the field of city planning – and mediates in the context of urban-political and socio-cultural challenges for cities. Rethinking urban resources and shaping better cities is only possible with the support of our network: Such collaboration between doers, professional visionaries and influential strategists, but also representatives of urban politics and urban society, international investors and scientists, is unique and creates extraordinary synergies.

Make_Shift gGmbH gründete das MakeCity Festival und produzierte die neue Formate. Die Partner unseres Netzwerks sind treibende Kräfte und Mediatoren im Kontext urban-politischer und baukultureller Herausforderungen. Urbane Ressourcen neu zu denken und bessere Städten zu gestalten, ist nur mithilfe der Unterstützung unseres Netzwerks möglich: Eine solche Zusammenarbeit zwischen Machern, professionellen Visionären und einflussreichen Strategen, aber auch von Vertreter*innen der städtischen Politik und der Stadtgesellschaft, internationalen Investoren und Wissenschaftler*innen ist einzigartig und schafft außergewöhnliche Synergien.
