Design like you give a damn

Question

As I mentioned to you briefly today, my interests lie specifically in how we can use design/architecture to create positive social and environmental change (possibly through international affordable housing) ... any suggestions?

Answer

Opportunities with companies and organizations that align with you:

Cities need you.

Question:

Sup Josh,

I have to be honest, I've been talking about your presentation all
day. I found your ambition and early success to be very inspiring and
helpful. Are there more organizations and individuals I should
contact considering my interest in urban planning?

Once again, thanks for your help.

Answer

It's great to hear from you; thanks a lot. The convergence of an
exploding population, rising urbanism, poverty and environmental
stress create opportunities for you - right now - to do what you do
best. Take a look at a few resources below to get you started. Some
are nonprofits, some are companies, and some are platforms to learn
more ... Always here for ya! - J
