People Power: Harnessing the
Grassroots
Today’s Political Context: The
Public View
The other global warming
The Global Crisis in Governance
Why Americans Hate Politics
Weaker than Ever
Our democracy is…disappearing?
People Power: Harnessing the Grassroots
• Just 13% of Americans say the government can be trusted to
do what is right always or most of the time. (10% say NEVER)
• Only 17% of Americans believe that big business can be
trusted to do what is right always or most of the time
• 60% distrust the media
Our trust is…disappearing
No Wonder We Don’t Trust the
Press
“Local leaders who need help no longer have any business traveling
to Washington. The nation’s capital has become the site of photo ops,
pep talks, news conferences and little else. As Washington fades into
the background, the rest of the nation is engaging in a great
experiment — can a country successfully invest in its future without
the national government being a relevant player?”
– Bruce Katz, Brookings Institution
• Example: Climate Change
• “Since 2009, lawmakers have proposed more than 800 pieces of
legislation related to climate change. The vast majority have failed,
with votes largely falling along partisan lines” (HuffPost)
politicization is a challenge
February – Providence, RI
“I wish we had a Congress that could help. We need a
breakthrough.” – Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
• Global urbanization
• A Housing Crisis
• Rising Inequality
• Climate Crisis
• Global Crisis in Governance
• The world needs architects. Your time is now.
Today’s issues suit you…
Every week, 1.4 million
people move into
cities.
Urban Design Matters more than ever
“The biggest problem is the understanding of what urban design is…
the urban community has become lost in strategic planning,
masterplanning, zoning and landscaping … All these have their own
purposes, of course – but they don’t address the principal question,
which is the relationship in a city between public space and buildable
space. This is the art and science of building cities – and until we
recover this basic knowledge, we will continue to make huge mistakes
… Huge mistakes.” – Joan Clos, UNHABITAT
• United States National Report for Habitat III: “The United States
federal system of government creates a specific context for
addressing urban development and sustainability. The U.S. policy,
governance and budget picture related to these issues involves
every level of government; however, most planning decisions as
well as the implementation of federal programs are enacted at
the local and state levels… The variety of contexts and
approaches provides a compelling reason to elevate voices of
professionals and advocates at the local, state, and regional
levels”
People Power: Harnessing the Grassroots
All Politics is Local
• “If you aren’t at the table, you’re on the menu” – Mayor Bob
Buckhorn, Tampa (AIA Grassroots, 2016)
• 90 percent of success is showing up
• The narrow interests vs. the public interest.
• P2 is an absolute gamechanger in this environment
• It can easily scale upward and outward (almost every national
policy initiative begins as a local one)
Why it matters
• National League of Cities survey of U.S. Cities (2010) - 81 percent
use public engagement processes "often" (60 percent) or
"sometimes" (21 percent)
• American Planning Association (2012) – “More than 50 percent want
to personally be involved in community planning efforts, including
more than half of Democrats, Republicans, and independents as well
as majorities of urban, suburban, and rural respondents.”
• Center for Public Interest Design (2013) – 75% of AIA members think
that architects should advocate for underrepresented groups, engage
local stakeholders in decision-making, and conserve resources.
The Data: 3 Compelling Points
What
Government/Organization
s Want
What the Public Wants
Don’t try to fool the public
People Power: Harnessing the Grassroots
Don’t Marginalize Yourself. Never
Stand Alone
Rules of the Game
• P2 provides a platform for you to ID your alignment with the public
interest
• ID issues and develop your message by first listening
• It’s not a manipulation/persuasion game, it’s a logical extension of
community aspirations
• Outcome: people want to be involved because their voice matters –
you transform their role from passive consumers to advocates
• Sharing the story of good design is powerful given today’s context.
What can one person do?
People Power: Harnessing the Grassroots
People Power: Harnessing the Grassroots
Fremont Troll, Seattle
When urban democracy expands, cities flourish. The
placemaking outcomes – and the impact on people – are nothing
short of remarkable.
This was a citizen idea…now it’s
world famous
Grassroots gamechanger: Broadmoor
Neighborhood Call to Action
The Difference Community Makes
• 13,000 volunteers mobilized
• Revitalization Plan
• Formed CDC
• Charter School
• Education Corridor
• Passed Improvement District
• In 7 years, 85% of the 2,400 homes
were rebuilt and occupied
The
Difference
Community Processes Are
Vehicles to Leadership
• Communities with trust issues require more intensive engagement,
higher levels of involvement
Lessons Learned: Common
Challenges
Myth: People are Apathetic
Truth: People are hungry for meaningful involvement

Albany, NY
“Establish a
Land Bank”
1. Legislative Strategy. Determining who holds the levers of power and how
you gain access to them to make your case in support of your goal.
2. Message Development and Communications. Making your case to
achieve your goal.
3. Allies and Coalitions. Working with others who share similar views to
achieve your goal.
4. Elections and PACs. Using the political campaign process can help you
achieve your goal.
5. Organizational Growth. Planning how the campaign will help grow and
strengthen your organization (i.e., the AIA).
AIA’s 5 Elements of a Campaign
The Empire State Future Coalition consists of local, regional,
state, and national organizations and companies dedicated to
smart growth and sustainable development. Empire State Future
and its Coalition support each other’s common missions
reciprocally; together, we are building and binding a collective
effort to move smart growth ahead in New York in leaps and
“In an American Institute
of Architects report
issued for the city of
Albany by the Sustainable
Design Assessment Team
in 2007, one of the
primary
recommendations was
creation of a land bank.”
P2 as a difference maker
Birmingham, AL - 2011
What Victory Looks Like
Strong Coalitions - Birmingham
• “The coalition of communities and
organizations that have come
together behind this grant is
incredibly impressive. I think we all
know we are working in an
environment of finite resources, so
from a federal standpoint it is always
extraordinarily helpful to see a large
commitment from the local
community, the private and public
sector and the region as a whole
behind one project.” – Federal official
Two Year Anniversary - 2013
Public Sector Impact
“A few days ago, Mayor Bell of Birmingham gave welcoming
remarks at our Alabama AIA state convention, and his comments
centered on this work. Wow. Mayor Bell got the message about
the value of design for the public. Not only did he appreciate the
outcome of the work, but he praised the impact of good design
on our communities and expressed fervent appreciation of the
work we architects do. We could not have written a script more
complimentary. The real value of this design assistance effort is
a renewed credibility of our profession and a commitment for
future collaboration. These AIA dollars were a great investment.”
– AIA National Board Member, 2013
Remaking Cities Congress, 2013
“Thank you and the American Institute of Architects for
all you have done to help move Birmingham forward.” –
Mayor William Bell
Process leads to investment
• “I don’t think this is one of those things
that will sit on a shelf…this is about
stimulating thought about what could
happen. Above all, you have to be
patient. When you see the right things
coming together – and you see that in
Newport – it’s cause for hope.” –Kevin
Dorn, Secretary of Commerce &
Community Development, State of
Vermont
Endorsed by even the toughest
critics
“They had ideas that we will incorporate on the waterfront and
the park. We give them credit for working hard and diligently on
the site. We’re going to look at it strongly and we think the job
will be a tremendous success.” –Donald Trump, 1990s,
following a NYC project
The citizen architect
“To get to the future from where we are now, we must make room for,
and nurture, what I call the “citizen architect.” What does this citizen
architect look like? This person is committed to universal
enfranchisement, and works to see that everyone in the community is
given a meaningful stake in, and a part in directing, the future. The
citizen architect is committed to seeing that, at the drafting table, the
public’s hand exerts at least as much force as the developer’s or
banker’s. The practice of architecture must no longer be seen as a
luxury that only the wealthy can afford. The public must be a vital part
of the process. Architecture is the most public of the arts. It should be
collaborative.” - Ted Pappas, President of the AIA, 1988
We are…
designers
activists
urbanists
volunteers
organized by
young professionals
We are Grassroots
The Power of Citizen Architects
Urban Charrette can seem like a
guerrilla movement in its approach
to influencing urban development,
compared to the usual process of
meetings, hearings and deals
between politicians, officials and
developers that often take place in
paneled and upholstered
chambers. -83 Degrees

opportunity is clear. And it’s up to you.

People Power: Harnessing the Grassroots

  • 1. People Power: Harnessing the Grassroots
  • 4. The Global Crisis in Governance
  • 9. • Just 13% of Americans say the government can be trusted to do what is right always or most of the time. (10% say NEVER) • Only 17% of Americans believe that big business can be trusted to do what is right always or most of the time • 60% distrust the media Our trust is…disappearing
  • 10. No Wonder We Don’t Trust the Press
  • 11. “Local leaders who need help no longer have any business traveling to Washington. The nation’s capital has become the site of photo ops, pep talks, news conferences and little else. As Washington fades into the background, the rest of the nation is engaging in a great experiment — can a country successfully invest in its future without the national government being a relevant player?” – Bruce Katz, Brookings Institution
  • 12. • Example: Climate Change • “Since 2009, lawmakers have proposed more than 800 pieces of legislation related to climate change. The vast majority have failed, with votes largely falling along partisan lines” (HuffPost) politicization is a challenge
  • 13. February – Providence, RI “I wish we had a Congress that could help. We need a breakthrough.” – Senator Sheldon Whitehouse
  • 14. • Global urbanization • A Housing Crisis • Rising Inequality • Climate Crisis • Global Crisis in Governance • The world needs architects. Your time is now. Today’s issues suit you…
  • 15. Every week, 1.4 million people move into cities.
  • 16. Urban Design Matters more than ever
  • 17. “The biggest problem is the understanding of what urban design is… the urban community has become lost in strategic planning, masterplanning, zoning and landscaping … All these have their own purposes, of course – but they don’t address the principal question, which is the relationship in a city between public space and buildable space. This is the art and science of building cities – and until we recover this basic knowledge, we will continue to make huge mistakes … Huge mistakes.” – Joan Clos, UNHABITAT
  • 18. • United States National Report for Habitat III: “The United States federal system of government creates a specific context for addressing urban development and sustainability. The U.S. policy, governance and budget picture related to these issues involves every level of government; however, most planning decisions as well as the implementation of federal programs are enacted at the local and state levels… The variety of contexts and approaches provides a compelling reason to elevate voices of professionals and advocates at the local, state, and regional levels”
  • 20. All Politics is Local • “If you aren’t at the table, you’re on the menu” – Mayor Bob Buckhorn, Tampa (AIA Grassroots, 2016) • 90 percent of success is showing up • The narrow interests vs. the public interest. • P2 is an absolute gamechanger in this environment • It can easily scale upward and outward (almost every national policy initiative begins as a local one)
  • 22. • National League of Cities survey of U.S. Cities (2010) - 81 percent use public engagement processes "often" (60 percent) or "sometimes" (21 percent) • American Planning Association (2012) – “More than 50 percent want to personally be involved in community planning efforts, including more than half of Democrats, Republicans, and independents as well as majorities of urban, suburban, and rural respondents.” • Center for Public Interest Design (2013) – 75% of AIA members think that architects should advocate for underrepresented groups, engage local stakeholders in decision-making, and conserve resources. The Data: 3 Compelling Points
  • 23. What Government/Organization s Want What the Public Wants Don’t try to fool the public
  • 25. Don’t Marginalize Yourself. Never Stand Alone
  • 26. Rules of the Game • P2 provides a platform for you to ID your alignment with the public interest • ID issues and develop your message by first listening • It’s not a manipulation/persuasion game, it’s a logical extension of community aspirations • Outcome: people want to be involved because their voice matters – you transform their role from passive consumers to advocates • Sharing the story of good design is powerful given today’s context.
  • 27. What can one person do?
  • 30. Fremont Troll, Seattle When urban democracy expands, cities flourish. The placemaking outcomes – and the impact on people – are nothing short of remarkable.
  • 31. This was a citizen idea…now it’s world famous
  • 34. The Difference Community Makes • 13,000 volunteers mobilized • Revitalization Plan • Formed CDC • Charter School • Education Corridor • Passed Improvement District • In 7 years, 85% of the 2,400 homes were rebuilt and occupied
  • 37. • Communities with trust issues require more intensive engagement, higher levels of involvement Lessons Learned: Common Challenges
  • 38. Myth: People are Apathetic Truth: People are hungry for meaningful involvement
  • 45. Process Drives Advocacy Albany, NY “Establish a Land Bank”
  • 46. 1. Legislative Strategy. Determining who holds the levers of power and how you gain access to them to make your case in support of your goal. 2. Message Development and Communications. Making your case to achieve your goal. 3. Allies and Coalitions. Working with others who share similar views to achieve your goal. 4. Elections and PACs. Using the political campaign process can help you achieve your goal. 5. Organizational Growth. Planning how the campaign will help grow and strengthen your organization (i.e., the AIA). AIA’s 5 Elements of a Campaign
  • 47. The Empire State Future Coalition consists of local, regional, state, and national organizations and companies dedicated to smart growth and sustainable development. Empire State Future and its Coalition support each other’s common missions reciprocally; together, we are building and binding a collective effort to move smart growth ahead in New York in leaps and
  • 48. “In an American Institute of Architects report issued for the city of Albany by the Sustainable Design Assessment Team in 2007, one of the primary recommendations was creation of a land bank.”
  • 49. P2 as a difference maker
  • 52. Strong Coalitions - Birmingham • “The coalition of communities and organizations that have come together behind this grant is incredibly impressive. I think we all know we are working in an environment of finite resources, so from a federal standpoint it is always extraordinarily helpful to see a large commitment from the local community, the private and public sector and the region as a whole behind one project.” – Federal official
  • 54. Public Sector Impact “A few days ago, Mayor Bell of Birmingham gave welcoming remarks at our Alabama AIA state convention, and his comments centered on this work. Wow. Mayor Bell got the message about the value of design for the public. Not only did he appreciate the outcome of the work, but he praised the impact of good design on our communities and expressed fervent appreciation of the work we architects do. We could not have written a script more complimentary. The real value of this design assistance effort is a renewed credibility of our profession and a commitment for future collaboration. These AIA dollars were a great investment.” – AIA National Board Member, 2013
  • 55. Remaking Cities Congress, 2013 “Thank you and the American Institute of Architects for all you have done to help move Birmingham forward.” – Mayor William Bell
  • 56. Process leads to investment • “I don’t think this is one of those things that will sit on a shelf…this is about stimulating thought about what could happen. Above all, you have to be patient. When you see the right things coming together – and you see that in Newport – it’s cause for hope.” –Kevin Dorn, Secretary of Commerce & Community Development, State of Vermont
  • 57. Endorsed by even the toughest critics “They had ideas that we will incorporate on the waterfront and the park. We give them credit for working hard and diligently on the site. We’re going to look at it strongly and we think the job will be a tremendous success.” –Donald Trump, 1990s, following a NYC project
  • 58. The citizen architect “To get to the future from where we are now, we must make room for, and nurture, what I call the “citizen architect.” What does this citizen architect look like? This person is committed to universal enfranchisement, and works to see that everyone in the community is given a meaningful stake in, and a part in directing, the future. The citizen architect is committed to seeing that, at the drafting table, the public’s hand exerts at least as much force as the developer’s or banker’s. The practice of architecture must no longer be seen as a luxury that only the wealthy can afford. The public must be a vital part of the process. Architecture is the most public of the arts. It should be collaborative.” - Ted Pappas, President of the AIA, 1988
  • 59. We are… designers activists urbanists volunteers organized by young professionals We are Grassroots The Power of Citizen Architects
  • 60. Urban Charrette can seem like a guerrilla movement in its approach to influencing urban development, compared to the usual process of meetings, hearings and deals between politicians, officials and developers that often take place in paneled and upholstered chambers. -83 Degrees
  • 61. Creative Conversations to change the dialogue
  • 71. From Parking Lots to Parks
  • 72. Re-connecting to the Waterfront
  • 76. The Value of design
  • 77. Late June: Just another $820 million development
  • 78. Could the next Mayor be an architect?
  • 80. Through grassroots designer democracy, we have the potential to change the world from the ground up. The challenges are stark. The opportunity is clear. And it’s up to you. A Call to Action
