Popken PopUps
& Community Engagement
We've changed our name - Popken Development is now Popken PopUps!
OUR AWARD-WINNING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT FIRM
USES POPUPS & CREATIVE ENGAGEMENTS TO MEET COMMUNITIES WHERE THEY ARE,
TO DEFINE THEIR VISION, & TO DEVELOP THE INCREMENTAL STEPS TO ACHIEVE IT.
​
WE WORK WITH CITIES, DESIGNERS, AND DEVELOPERS ON PROJECTS THAT FOSTER A MORE SUSTAINABLE WAY OF LIFE, BY FOCUSING ON THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT: WALKABLE URBAN PLACES, MICROMOBILITY SYSTEMS, PLACEMAKING, HOUSING DIVERSITY, AND SMALL BUSINESSES.
SERVICES
Engaging with different stakeholder groups in meetings large & small, formal & informal.
Sharing the project narrative and gathering input from attendees has always worked well in a public forum.
COMMUNITY MEETINGS AREN'T FOR EVERYONE.
Whether it's the meeting schedule or just the whole environment, sometimes the most valuable input comes from those in the community you might only reach by "going to them". Let's find creative ways to reach your target stakeholders and everyone who needs to weigh-in.
Always available because some people want to give input at midnight in their pjs.
Discussion forums, geographic pinpoints, past meeting videos and summaries, survey forms, budget prioritization, email signup, project timeline and team contacts are all integrated seamlessly in one project website.
The experience of a vision can mean so much more than a plan on paper.
A temporary demonstration to feel and touch can bring naysayers on board and fine-tune a complex design.
