City design and accessibility training built for fun!

About

About us.

Brick City Lab is a division of ProFound Insights: a think tank dedicated to creating livable communities where people of all ages and abilities can have thriving independent lives.

In Brick City Labs, we use LEGO style buildings to explore city design and accessibility issues. This usually takes the form of a short lecture, highlighting important background information, followed by a design or discovery session within Brick City Lab.

If you are interested in more roadway design content, follow our ProFound City Insights blog on Substack or check out our book, Independence Day, on Amazon.

Design

Urban Design Workshops

Using the Brick City environment, planners and engineers are given the opportunity to design their own city street, wrestling with the design changes and tradeoffs that come with limited space and competing uses.

Discover

Exploring Independence

Stepping out into the real world on your own is challenging. Brick City Lab provides a low stress way to talk about navigating walking, biking, and transit safely and securely.

Tools

Workbooks and planning sheets

Thinking through the choices that go independence takes a lot of planning and dialogue. Through our workbooks and planning materials, we can provide you tools that will help you think everything through.
