In 2015, UN-Habitat and the Creative Industries Fund NL began collaborating in the field of urban development. Specifically, the partnership supports 20 designers who work together in teams at five urban labs around the world. Two of the labs are in Asia: in Myanmar and the Philippines.
The participating designers spend a year working at one of the labs, collaborating with an international, multidisciplinary team on urgent assignments that are formulated based on recommendations from the related city or urban area.
