WHO WE ARE
Design For Six Feet is a women-led urban design collaborative. We believe in co-creation, knowledge sharing, and activism. We have partnered with cities -- big and small -- to experiment with new ways to alter public space for the benefit of all, and, in doing so, pave the way for long-term change, new spaces and new spatial practices.
