Urbanista

https://urbanista.am/

Urbanista produces multimedia storytelling about urban areas, primarily in Armenia. The organisation combines architecture, photojournalism, reporting on local government initiatives, and new journalism formats.

It has produced several unique journalism projects in Armenia and abroad: Interactive City Budget, a project that investigates how the budgets of 12 Armenian towns are distributed; Women of Borderland, which shares the perspectives of women in urban developments; and Rethinking Post-Industrial Cities, a web documentary on the past, present, and future of four Armenian cities.

The organisation also conducts interdisciplinary research on urbanism and urban governance.

The founder of Urbanista is the NGO Journalists for Urban Development.
