Through our Civic Stewardship Initiative, the CDCP offers education, advocacy, and technical assistance to encourage awareness of the built environment – buildings, neighborhoods, parks, and public spaces – and its critical contributions to public life. Educational resources – websites, workshops, tours, and presentations – help people understand and negotiate design issues and processes. Through active participation in City-wide and regional initiatives, the CDCP acts as a voice for design and its role in strengthening communities and shaping the future of the region.
