Building great public places is what we do every day — and that work is never done alone. We work with community builders across sectors to solve some of the most pressing issues cities face: climate change, housing affordability, and access to nature and public spaces.

We know that our public spaces need a change and transforming them takes a community of action. We want you to be part of that community.
