About

Social Place (previously Julia King & Associates) devises tools and processes that enable diverse voices to contribute to design and planning decision-making, and to shaping the future of places in imaginative and equitable ways.

 

Social Place offers social scientific and spatial research; community engagement, workshops, guidance and training; as well as design processes to advance the public discourse around inclusive cities. Our core work delivers innovative forms of public engagement and community design. ​​​​
