BUILDING COMMUNITY BY DESIGN.
Founded in 2009, DownCity Design (DCD) is a non-profit community design studio that empowers young people to strengthen their communities by harnessing the creative power of design. Our free youth programs and community design dialogues are making urban neighborhoods safer, healthier, and more livable, while empowering residents to become agents of change.
