There is a difference between showing up at a meeting to protest and being an informed contributor to a process that manages change. We don’t believe in mob rule. We believe you can, in fact, prevent mob rule by crafting a process of public participation that is collaborative and deliberative.

We plan, manage and facilitate collaborative community planning teams to tackle the most controversial and complicated urban design and planning problems. Under our guidance and management:

  • Community planning teams are inclusive of not just those who want to be heard, but also those who matter.
  • Education and discovery precede informed deliberation.
  • No one feels like they are wasting their time, including the developer/client.
  • No one feels stymied.
  • Negotiations are all about informed trade-offs.
  • Principles are balanced by process.
  • Outcomes are realistic.
