We are planning communicators, inspiring communities to shape the future of their neighbourhoods and cities.
We believe good planning only works when people can see themselves in it; and that starts with how we engage and communicate.
CoFutures brings together expertise in strategic planning, community engagement and urban design to enhance the way people experience places. We develop evidence-based strategies and plans that are grounded in insights and local context. Through our creative and mapping studio we tell engaging stories that translate complex ideas and technical information to support community understanding and inspire action.
Launching our SOAP Toolkit
Every new strategy, plan and policy is a story about the future of a place however, too much information can confuse people and get in the way of a clear narrative.
Planning communication is the practice of telling simple and compelling stories about how places change and evolve.
