Consulting Services
Accelerating Community-Led Projects & Neighborhood Transformation
Turn your community’s boldest visions into reality.
The status quo tells us that transformative projects take a generation. That meaningful community engagement will slow things down even further. That if you want broad support, you have to accept slow delivery.
We don’t believe that.
Why City Thread?
City Thread’s consulting services are available to any city, agency, non-profit, or community group that believes in a project and needs help navigating the landscape to make change happen.
We have two decades of experience designing and facilitating collaborative processes for complex public sector projects. Throughout all of our projects, no matter if it’s to help an organization accelerate project delivery, build internal and external support for public sector programs, build a coalition to work toward community outcomes, facilitate focus groups and audience research, or develop project implementation plans, we help teams create the conditions to work together effectively.
We’re here because red tape, bureaucracy, politics, and interpersonal dynamics can create seemingly unending barriers to getting things done.
Whether you’re just getting started or at a standstill, City Thread helps communities move forward by facilitating hard conversations, working through conflict, and building the alignment needed to advance plans, projects, and partnerships faster.
We tailor our services to address specific projects, campaigns, and challenges to accelerate project implementation, no matter where you are in the process.
