SHAPE is a collaboration between a public-private research institute (AMS) and an architecture and technology company (UNSense) that offers an innovation program resulting in tangible prototypes to address urban challenges. The program aims to (1) identify available technology opportunities, (2) apply technologies practically to urban issues, and (3) build trust in technologies by limiting involvement of large corporations. It seeks to address the struggles cities face from fast-moving developments, traditional research timelines being too long, and limited understanding of city dynamics. The program will explore pairing emerging technologies with city issues to prototype solutions over several months.
