Cities are on the brink of major transformation. As the COVID-19 pandemic begins to wind down (or ramp up, depending on the week), we recognize that the implications for those who create, invest in, and manage great places could not be more significant.

The past two years have seen a radical transformation in how people live, work, and go about their everyday lives. Digital solutions have fundamentally altered the frequency with which we gather and given us new tools to engage. At Streetsense, our real estate and place-based consultancy is rooted in understanding and interpreting these trends for our clients.

This toolkit offers those who create and manage great places a primer on some of our thinking, one that offers communities, developers, and businesses the ammunition to inform advocacy efforts and to advance market-driven policies, programs, and investment decisions.
