Announcing the winners of Coliving Awards 2022

Coliving Awards ceremony took place on the 29th of June 2022 in Katowice, Poland, during the World Urban Forum (WUF 11), which is organised by UN Habitat, City of Katowice & Polish Ministry of Development Funds and Regional Policy. 

‍

Curated by Coliving Ventures, Coliving Awards is the first-ever ceremony dedicated to highlighting key innovators, actors and ideas that are shaping the coliving industry. Its co-founders, Bart Sasim, Aitana de Jong and Matt Lesniak, came together a couple of years ago to establish a way to acknowledge the multiple innovators of the coliving sector and give visibility to their achievements. Coliving Awards and Coliving Ventures are initiatives that are part of a unique ecosystem, developed and facilitated by Spatial Experience, an innovation hub for specialist real estate. The goal of such an ecosystem is to encourage innovative and sustainable business development and growth within coliving sector.

‍

During the final ceremony, live streamed from Katowice to our world-wide audience, the final winners of each category were finally announced by the co-founders of Coliving Awards, Bart Sasim, Aitana de Jong and Matt Lesniak, and Marnus Burger, Operations Manager of Spatial Experience.

In order to capture these timeless efforts and state-of-the-art developments, we partnered up with Coliving Insights to publish the second edition of Coliving Awards Special Edition 2022. This special publication is the opportunity to showcase the winning projects, the reason behind their success, and highlight our expert jury panel, partners and sponsors.
