Our mission is to connect people and places with communities and habitats through rigorous sociological research and resilient planning. We aim to make spaces socially-aware and society spatially-sensitive by leveraging community analytics.
We deliver solutions driven by rigorous community analytics that help paint a better picture of communities and community needs.
Our sense of space is rooted by people and how they interact with their surroundings.
Our sense of community analytics helps to instill agency at the grassroots level for planning efforts that respond to community needs.
Our research and projects build in resilienct and adaptive uses of spaces and society.
We provide a critical understanding of a community beyond the planning lingo into action and implementation.
We research and train communities to use the tools developed to understand spaces and people in the long-term.
