Codesign studio

CoDesign Studio (founded in 2010) is a design and placemaking consultancy based in Collingwood, Victoria, Australia. Operating as a social enterprise CoDesign Studio works with councils, property developers and communities to quickly transform any place using the principles of tactical urbanism.
Inception
CoDesign Studio began in 2010 as a group of multi-disciplinary designers who wanted to respond to community needs in urban planning. These designers saw that communities don't always know how to make their ideas happen, and that the design industry increasingly wanted to engage with community projects but lacked understanding of the right processes.
CoDesign developed a tactical urbanism methodology working on community development projects in India, Cambodia and Vietnam, although now works exclusively in Australia.
Projects
CoDesign Studio have worked on many of the first tactical urbanism projects in Australia, including the School of Life Pop Up Space in Collingwood, The Dodds Street Design Lab in Southbank and the One Small Change Streetscape Activity in West Dandenong.
CEO Lucinda Hartley speaks around the country on connecting people with place, and is a well-known figure in the industry.
