STRATEGY LABS
Strategy Labs are designed to engage communities through charrettes on various scales throughout the communities. Tailored to the needs of the town or city, Strategy Labs employ crowdsourcing tactics and technical expertise to strategize, design, and curate ideas about how underused spaces can be transformed into community assets using creative placemaking techniques.


RESEARCH
This program uses data collection tactics such as surveys and mapping to perform a variety of research analyses in hopes of providing a better insight into a community. This can include, but is not limited to, cultural asset mapping, mapping underused spaces, and analysis of a creative placemaking project.
