Rebuild by Design

Rebuild By Design uses collaborative, design-driven problem-solving to convene a mix of sectors - including government, business, non-profit, and community organizations to work with communities and cities to build resilience. Rooted heavily in a research-driven approach, Rebuild uses site visits, community conversations, and on-the-ground research – including panel discussions, symposiums, and workshops – to gain a better understanding of how overlapping environmental and human-made vulnerabilities leave cities and regions at risk. Leading a subsequent collaborative design process ensures the final outcomes are informed, innovative, and implementable. Working with government and local stakeholders throughout the process ensures the resulting projects are realistic and achievable, and have strong community support. Rebuild works to leave communities with a better understanding, increased capacity, implementable projects, new relationships, and demonstrative examples of how a better process leads to a better outcome.
