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).

“We were able to tap into segments of the community that normally wouldn’t participate. Historically everything goes through 30-50 people who speak the loudest and have time to make their points. Using coUrbanize gave us a broader segment to work with, especially the 35 and under demographic. Planning by nature implies we are looking forward, so why should a small segment of society dictate how we will live in the future?”
