Placemaking & Policy Services
Informed by our research in the world’s blue zones, we bring healthier, more connected communities to life. We focus on enhancing the built environment, food systems, and tobacco prevention to measurably improve health and well-being.
Your ZIP Code Plays a Role in Your Longevity
An estimated 80% of how long and how well we live is shaped by our lifestyles and the environments around us. What if our cities, towns, and neighborhoods helped people move more, feel better, connect with others, and experience a greater sense of purpose and belonging?
We can create safer, healthier, more beautiful places where children explore, neighbors connect, older adults remain active, and people of every generation thrive. These are also the places that attract residents, visitors, talent, investment, and opportunity.
Across our built environment, food systems, and tobacco prevention initiatives, we help communities turn high-impact ideas into practical solutions. The results are visible: safer streets, connected trails, vibrant public spaces, access to nutritious food, and smoke-free environments.
We plan, design, and deliver places where people can live better, longer, now and for generations to come.
