Zoning workshops: Now in 3D

Compelling, revealing, and fun.

Transform community engagement by moving from two dimensions into three. We make it easy to uncover what a more convivial, complete neighborhood would look like according to public preferences in a specific place.

Scale models offer planning consultants and city planners an entertaining and realistic way to engage local stakeholders and civic leaders alike in the question of how to make their dream neighborhoods real.

"The game and its pieces are amazing. They are helpful tools that increase understanding for communities interested in reforming their zoning and development codes."

Whit Blanton, Executive Director, Forward Pinellas

"The game shows planners, elected officials, and the general public that gentle density can blend in perfectly in a single family neighborhood."

Catherine Hartley, Senior Associate, Benesch
