Responsible placemaking and projects
Specialities
Each place is the sum of our lived experiences there. The secret to true placemaking is discovering how those experiences interrelate and manifest spatially.
Unlocking social benefits
We help communities take on the responsibility of the role as decision-maker. We help the development process become less adversarial & build community confidence to participate. We coach communities and organisations to engage better, build positive relationships and tap into the networks they need to mobilise support and resource for their projects. We see place as social first and physical second and work on projects that focus on mending the connection people have with their place and city. We like to work on projects that sees changing urban space as an opportunity to grow great urban experiences and improve the everyday life of people living in them.

Creating positive change
We are interested in the relationship between social and spatial aspects of cities, and how they affect our everyday lives. We are recognised thought leaders and regularly write, speak and convene events and networks around how cities are changing and the role that communities and organisations play in their future.
