WHAT WE DO
BERM designs and engages in community-centered planning, research, and engagement projects that are joyful, valuable, and accessible. Championing small-scale interventions as catalysts for larger systemic change, our work is centered around convening participatory activities and planning processes for open spaces.
WHO WE ARE
We are a young urban planning and programming collective established in New York City in 2023. As a group, we bring combined experience working as practitioners, researchers, and community organizers across New York City-based environmental, governmental, and community organizations, with an emphasis on climate resilience, open space, and streetscapes.
