Education

We go beyond the formal approach to urban design education

Our team is composed of designers, facilitators, visionaries, teachers, and connectors. Our Board of Directors consists of business leaders, architects, developers, planners, health care experts, and so many other professions. With this diverse collection of connectors, we are able to bring together leaders across sectors that can speak to local and global innovations at monthly Urban Design Forums. We also offer an 8-part Socially Conscious Design class series that dives deeper into the topic of good civic design and how to achieve it. 

Our organization has spoken at events and conferences around the world, shedding light on creative community engagement efforts. We offer specialized training for teachers, architects, and community leaders on how to begin their own versions of programs like TURBO and Design Your Neighborhood in their own communities.
