AMAVA

AMAVA is an independent consultancy at the intersection of urban development, strategic communications and creative leadership. Founded by Andrea Renger – urban planner, facilitator and impact communicator with over 7 years of international experience – AMAVA brings together the rigour of urban policy with the human sensitivity of participatory practice.

We work where transformation happens: in neighbourhoods, with communities, alongside policymakers and practitioners who believe that liveable spaces are shaped by the people who inhabit them.
Our name reflects our purpose: amava — rooted in the idea of voices, experiences and collective agency — for change — committed to measurable, lasting impact.

AMAVA operates across four interconnected practice areas:

1. Regenerative Urban and Rural Development & Participatory Planning

2. Integrated Aproach (place-based, cross-sectoral, multi-actor partnerships)

3. Strategic Communications for Impact Visibility

4. Capacity Development, Training & Leadership

   The New European Bauhaus calls for projects that unite beauty, sustainability and inclusion - not as abstract principles, but as lived realities in neighbourhoods. This is precisely what AMAVA does.

We bring:

• Proven capacity to facilitate inclusive, participatory processes with real communities

• A track record of translating urban research into actionable policy and practice

• Strategic communications expertise to ensure project results are visible, transferable and impactful

• An international network spanning urban practitioners, municipalities, NGOs and research institutions

• Direct alignment with NEB's core themes: health and well-being in neighbourhoods, spatial justice, green transition and human-centred design

We are actively seeking consortium partners for HORIZON-NEB-2026-01-PARTICIPATION-03 and are open to roles as co-applicant, community engagement lead or communications and dissemination partner.
