youarethecity is an urban research, design and planning practice led by Kaja Kühl.
“you are the city” stands for the believe that everybody has agency in shaping their own environment. I see my role as facilitating that process and amplifying the voices of those often underrepresented, including people of color, children and immigrants promoting spatial justice, equity and climate action.“
The practice works with communities, government agencies, and non-profit organizations to co-create mission-driven projects at multiple scales.
Integrating contextual research, mapping, community workshops, and design speculation, this work takes on a range of formats from master plans to architecture, writings, mappings, events, exhibitions and policy proposals.
