At Sonder Civic Partners, we ask:
What would our streets look like if we designed them not just for individual movement, but for collective connection, dignity, and care?
How might public engagement around transportation shift from reactive debate to collaborative future-building?
Transportation is not just a technical issue — it’s a social one. The way we design and govern our streets shapes how we relate to one another, whose needs are prioritized, and what kind of futures we make possible. We believe that safe, equitable, and joyful mobility is fundamental to community well-being and to a more peaceful society.
At Sonder Civic Partners, we support governments, organizations, researchers, and advocates working to reimagine the public realm — especially the streets — as spaces of shared purpose. Whether through participatory futures activities, community-centered strategy, or research rooted in justice and imagination, we help shift the way transportation projects are planned, understood, and experienced.
Streets can be more than corridors — they can be commons. Let’s build that future, one conversation and one redesign at a time.

We leverage partnerships to amplify impact.

We foster creativity to catalyze connection and imagination.

We harness planning to think holistically about what’s possible.

We design engagement to build trust and agency.
