Make Public

What gets measured gets changed. Make Public works with local government, nonprofits and other urban partners to both guide and research the social impact of their work and help inform changes to policy, programs and design. Social impact measurements help our partners advance their work towards equitable and sustainable outcomes as well as hold decision-makers accountable. We work closely with our partners to identify values and demonstrate how they can be reflected in their public realm planning strategies alongside economic and environmental concerns. We create resources, facilitate training, and develop tools to measure and highlight those values. We support local leaders to build capacity within their own organizations and strategize with partners to transform the public realm while centering the communities who inhabit it.
