About

Launched in 2006, OpenCity Projects is all about great urban experiences. We aim to elevate the role of public space, in building strong communities, through our consulting practice and our blog.

In research consulting projects, we view place through the eyes of people who use it every day and apply our insights to create more vibrant urban experiences.

Our optimistic blog covers creative uses of public space in cities around the world—from sustainable materials and beautiful landscaping to unexpected programming.

The OpenCity name was inspired by Toronto. Now in its ‘youth’, we feel that Toronto is open like no other city—open to change, cultures and interpretation. We take inspiration from this open quality and learn from other cities’ design approach to inform our creative perspective.
