Van Alen Institute is a driving force behind community-led urban design, which believes that local knowledge and care enrich the design process. 

Since 1894, Van Alen has invested in people with a passion for improving cities through architecture and design. Our public space projects build unconventional coalitions of designers, local stakeholders, and city leaders, and we support their visions through project scoping, hands-on guidance, and seed funding.

Our work confronts longstanding power imbalances in citymaking, showcases the vanguard of community-led design, and supports the next generation of designers in creating more just cities.
