Places
for People
UrbanThoreau helps to
make the connections between community, environment,
health, and financial independence. Our project
sets out to help individuals and communities act
accordingly. Our goal is better places, for better
lives, for all.
Placemaking
UrbanThoreau assists communities in creating walkable
and bikeable places. And we’re not just talking
sidewalks. Aesthetically pleasing, community-oriented
places that draw people outside are our specialty.
In short, we are talking about placemaking.
The Active Community Environment
Quality communities come out of quality places,
and vice versa. We recognize that quality places
don’t just happen, they are the result of
active community participation. If you want a better
place to live, get involved. Get active in your
community!
Live well, do well
We have found that self-interests can be aligned
with altruistic ideals right at home. Buying Energy
Star rated products and using simpler, more convenient
tools will make your home more comfortable and your
neighborhood more peaceful. They’ll also be
quite lucrative as investments. Living
greener--environmentally and financially--can be
done.
