Our Work

At Enabling City, we believe access to inspiration is important. We creatively respond to today's most pressing issues by harnessing civic creativity as a tool of social transformation. Our flagship publications, signature programs, and consulting work spark new ways of thinking about participation – encouraging experts and enthusiasts alike to generate engaging insights that lead to positive change.

 

Research

We produce rigorous but imaginative research that uncovers new creative possibilities and turns theory into action.

Consult

We work with a diverse range of dedicated changemakers (researchers, creative communities, planners, progressive institutions and social entrepreneurs) to make cities more liveable, inclusive and resilient.

Design

We develop emerging conceptual frameworks and action tools that stimulate public engagement, foster a culture of co-creation and openness, and dynamically re-imagine the 'enabling' potential of cities.

Amplify

We accelerate the reach of 'place-based creative problem-solving' by sharing promising ideas and initiatives and support networks of community-powered change.

Connect

We help individuals and institutions test new ideas, scale impact, and find trusted collaborators who share their passion.

 

For almost ten years Enabling City has actively helped shape the conversation about social innovation, resilience, and civic engagement. We value active citizenship and love working with communities all over the world to grow the skills necessary to becoming competent agents of change.
