Place Activation
Co-creating pathways to make cities and workplaces more human
A framework to guide plans, assessments, and decisions for future place activation initiatives and urban developments. We conduct feasibility strategies to help scale pilots into sustainable build-outs by combining cost and resource assessments, stakeholder engagement, and scenario analysis to ensure adaptability in ever-changing contexts.
The development of public-facing programs to create places that are meaningful and maximize shared value. We align business goals with societal ambitions to help you identify creative use patterns, focusing on the physical, cultural, and social identities of a place to support its ongoing development.
An analysis of the commercial landscape of a place to uncover key opportunities to develop dynamic and active retail environments. Our team evaluates retail settings, identifies gaps, and provides recommendations to support the long-term vitality of these spaces, with a focus on activating ground floors and encouraging mixed-use developments.
The mapping of physical spaces and social networks to develop policies, designs, and strategies that foster inclusive, thriving communities. We create research frameworks and plans that assist community organizations, urban designers, and policy makers in identifying existing social infrastructure or gaps, and in determining how it can be supported to advance health equity, climate resilience, and economic opportunity.
