Cities and towns are rapidly changing, as are the technologies we use to measure, predict, design and build with. In the race to ride this momentum we see public agencies, private developers and service providers alike favoring technocratic, big data-driven and large-scale solutions. Something very important is being lost in the shuffle: the existing knowledge, character and strengths embedded in our communities. We believe in planning practices that are participatory and targeted and we work to advance initiatives that demonstrate creative ways of working together, that are designed with empathy and that respond to real community needs.
