To date our teams in the mega-cities where we work, have identified thousands of unrecognized innovations; documented and disseminated over 200 successful experiences; and worked with dozens of leaders helping to bring their ideas to the world stage.

We have played an active role in Habitat I, II and III; and in the World Urban Forums seeking to promote the agenda of social justice, environmental regeneration and inclusion.
