A Design Laboratory.

Nonprofit Design Collective
Centering the historically oppressed through empathetic, community-based design is necessary for overcoming systemic inequities. At Territorial Empathy we work with people-in-places often overlooked to co-create thriving, just, and resilient places. Our team of urbanists, architects, and researchers is committed to engaging in culturally sensitive, anti-racist, and anti-bias practices.

Crisis
Our Pandemic Response
Here at Territorial Empathy, we’ve been thinking about our role in supporting the pandemic relief efforts. In these uncertain times, it’s important for our community to be of service to those who need it the most. This is why we’ve launched the Covid-19 Empathy Grants. If your community is currently underserved and would benefit from our research and advocacy work, we encourage you to apply.
