The SEED Network is a global initiative focused on using design to support communities in achieving social, economic, and environmental well-being. We bring together individuals and organizations who share principles of equity and self-determination in shaping the built environment. We promote best practices, case studies, and tools—such as the SEED Evaluator—to guide inclusive, participatory design processes and measure impact. Overall, the SEED Network serves as a collaborative platform that empowers people to improve their communities through thoughtful, community-driven design.
