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.
