Home to well over half the global population, metropolitan regions are at the epicenter of technological and societal transformations. Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions (AMS Institute) is driven by the belief that guiding cities towards inclusivity, resilience, and sustainability is no longer an option, but an imperative. At our institute, different disciplines, skills, and expertises are combined to tackle urban challenges that cities of today face.
In everything we do, we create synergies between our education, entrepreneurship, and research and innovation activities. We work in close collaboration with the City of Amsterdam and our founding universities, Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), Wageningen University & Research (WUR), and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), as well as large network of partners with complementary backgrounds—including citizens, knowledge institutes, and private and public organizations.
With urban experimentation at the heart of our activities, we propel innovative solutions to create livable, sustainable, resilient, and inclusive metropolitan areas. This is what we at AMS Institute call ‘reinventing cities’.
