About Us
With offices in Vancouver, New York, and Brussels, Resonance is a dynamic team of consultants and creatives, planners and urbanists, analysts and designers. For two decades, we’ve empowered places to thrive with intelligence, forward-thinking, and an enduring belief in the power of place.
Resonance was founded on the belief that placemaking is a force for good. That, when done right, it can build community, preserve heritage, spark vibrancy, and drive progress.
Our work in place strategy, place branding, and city competitiveness consulting brings that belief to life. In all we do, we are driven to make places more livable, loveable, and prosperous for all.
We believe that resilient communities and sustainable infrastructure are key to making cities and communities better places to live and visit.
Our proven, internationally recognized research shows that the vibrancy of a city is not only important to attracting visitors, but a key driver of economic development as well.
We believe that absolute economic results are not enough, and that growth and the opportunities it creates should be as shared and equitable as possible.
