Topology reevaluated community goals and objectives by leveraging the planning work that had already been done and by supercharging the community engagement process using technology and demonstration projects. The Plan was developed as part of a robust public process that reached a broad spectrum of residents, with a priority on ensuring full transparency in all decision making processes.

Taking  public engagement beyond the confines of workshops and committee meetings,  citizens were engaged to share their community vision with us and each other throughout the process online and on the streets.  The team collaborated with an on-line tech platform —CoUrbanize— and gathered over two thousand responses in the form of comments, texts, and survey responses. To bring objectives to life right away, the Topology team worked with the City’s Public Works Department to install a parklet (small park/public space in a parking spot) for the duration of the Master Plan re:Vision process.
