Jesse Jorg is the mastermind behind WeTheCity. WeTheCity strives at making cities more human. We believe that the people who use the city are the people that color the city. Our goal is not to design public space. We rather change the way people view and use public space. Both on a permanent and temporary basis. Example projects of temporary use are BenchesCollective, Courtyard, Rainbar, Drie Daken Diner, Pop-Up Campsite and Buurtcamping.
