The urbanized world is our playground. We investigate and understand how design can provide positive impact on our lives in cities. We play the long game at a time when no one else seems to. Our aim is to inspire people and professionals to unlock and realize the potential of their city. Number one: we believe in fostering collaboration and action. We are social innovators at the intersection of architecture, urbanism, politics, and culture looking to propel economic and cultural development. We encourage dialogue and social innovation. Why? To make cities better places to live. Our unbending focus is on quality public space, civic architecture, mobility, social innovation and new infrastructures. We are a nimble team of creative people who care deeply about cities, culture and design. We come from architecture, landscape architecture, art, media, business, culture, and nonprofit worlds. We are lecturers, teachers, doers, investors, and more. Our diversity and the positive impact we seek drives us forward. We make connections between the city leadership, architects, planners, investors and communities to catalyze change in cities. We also provide a tool that helps design sustainable and resilient solutions for better cities. We love to connect. We have network of over 400 global experts and thought partners in our reach.
