Public Works Partners
Public Works Partners is a WBE/DBE/SBE certified planning and consulting firm rooted in New York City. We build stronger neighborhoods and stronger organizations. We engage communities, design smart plans, and implement policies for our public and nonprofit clients. Our goal is to increase your impact.
Public Works Partners believes that strong, stable neighborhoods lead to better lives.
Our expertise lies in supporting organizations so they can strengthen the communities in which they work. We help our clients to engage key stakeholders, develop and launch better programs, improve internal operations, build stronger teams, and ultimately increase their impact (which, of course, we help them track). We believe that everybody deserves a good job and that every family can thrive with economic independence. Founded in 2010 out of a desire to strengthen communities and increase the impact of mission-driven organizations, we’ve partnered with more than 100 clients on 150 projects and counting.

What We Do
We build stronger neighborhoods through urban planning and management strategies.
Our work increases the efficiency, and ultimately the impact, of the mission-driven organizations and individuals that support community growth. We assess needs, engage stakeholders, create action plans, implement, and then evaluate to improve the work.
We tailor our proven method to the needs of our clients.
Public Works Partners works with clients of all shapes and sizes, on projects big and small. Our primary expertise is focused on improving organizational health and supporting community health. Our process drives every project we tackle and helps us get you from the problem to the solution, to measured impact on the ground.
We partner with organizations that strengthen communities.
We know that there is no one size fits all approach to building thriving neighborhoods. We partner with urban planning, design, real estate, and development firms to form teams uniquely tailored to each community’s needs and goals.
Helping you work smarter.
