Van Alen Institute
Non-profit
Van Alen Institute is a driving force behind community-led urban design, which believes that local knowledge and care enrich the design process.
Since 1894, Van Alen has invested in people with a passion for improving cities through the power of architecture and design. Our public space projects build unconventional coalitions of designers, local stakeholders, and city leaders, and we support their visions through project scoping, hands-on guidance, and seed funding.
