How we help you

Empower local residents to shape the future of your outdoor environments with Commonplace, the all-in-one SaaS platform for active engagement. Our user-friendly tools bridge the gap between local authorities and developers, fostering a collaborative approach to revitalizing waterspaces, canals, and creating more pleasant outdoor spaces. Through interactive features like online maps, polls, and open forums, Commonplace fosters open dialogue, allowing residents to share their vision for these vital areas. This collaborative approach leads to higher buy-in and a sense of shared ownership, ultimately resulting in more successful and sustainable projects. Leverage resident insights to identify areas for improvement, prioritise features, and ensure your waterfront developments truly meet community needs. Commonplace empowers you to create vibrant, thriving outdoor spaces that residents will cherish for years to come.
