We are planning communicators, inspiring communities to shape the future of their neighbourhoods and cities.
We believe good planning only works when people can see themselves in it; and that starts with how we engage and communicate.
CoFutures brings together expertise in strategic planning, community engagement and urban design to enhance people's experiences of place. We develop evidence-based strategies and plans that are grounded in insights and local context. Through our creative and mapping studio we tell engaging stories that translate complex ideas and technical information into accessible narratives that support community understanding and inspire action.

Who we work with
State of the Community 2026
Housing is often framed through numbers: supply, targets, densities and typologies. But when communities talk about housing, the conversation starts somewhere else.
By asking questions planners often avoid, our findings signal a challenge for planners to move housing responses beyond a technical task. Data alone cannot calm or resolve a crisis narrative, but storytelling, empathy and values-based dialogue can.
In 2026 we will be launching our research findings and sharing insights from our inaugural State of the Community – watch this space.
