“It is rare to come across a team of people who are so enthusiastic about their product and equally so customer service oriented. As developers, we have always thought it important to engage with our neighbors and the community at large. We need that feedback, good and bad, to improve what we build. coUrbanize has proven to be invaluable.”
Chuck Berman, Co-Founder and Managing Principal, BedRock Real Estate
Bringing community engagement online
Think of coUrbanize as your project’s home base – the best place for community members to get project updates and participate in the process. People get accurate project information straight from the source instead of relying on information from their neighborhood Facebook group or NextDoor page.
And coUrbanize offers more than just a standard website. Our platform is designed to connect project teams with those who live, work and play near the project – to gather their feedback and capture their support. Our team will help you design poll questions and project updates that keep the conversation productive (and usually positive).
