Gather observations

Work inclusively to annotate firsthand accounts of current conditions, community perspectives, and site visits to ground-truth opportunities and needs.

Check understanding

Use shared observations, localized data, and educational resources to strengthen understanding of the unique qualities of local places, cultures, and ecosystems before beginning to design.
