The mission of The Urban Studio is “to advance design thinking for equitable and sustainable urbanism.” We envision a world where all people have the means to create healthy, vibrant, and just communities. Toward our mission and vision for the world, we seek out partnerships and projects that align with our five core values: 1) design as liberation; 2) co-design and co-creation with communities of color, 3) authentic and respectful engagement; 4) Intergenerational leadership and mentorship; and 5) experts of lived experience.
