For over 20 years, teams assembled through CCB worked together with urban districts, neighborhoods, towns, small cities, and philanthropies to identify cultural and creative assets and devise strategies to leverage them for community revitalization and change. Teams included a network of accomplished planners, designers, placemakers, and artists passionate about helping diverse communities thrive.

Our process incorporated methods from strategic planning, community organizing and capacity building. CCB was drawn to projects that actively engage with diverse cultures, design, civic engagement, and local economies. Artists are generally central to our process.

Since 2023, CCB has limited projects to previous clients and those of special interest, placing more focus on teaching, speaking, and writing.
