This group of architects, landscapers, planners, artists and communicators is developing a variety of personalized, interactive systems to inform and incentivize carbon-smart lifestyle choices and promote stronger urban communities. CityLab7 found that using the word "carbon" doesn't effectively convey the impacts of personal choice on climate change, and instead learned how to use compelling examples to motivate change.

With the aid of a Phase Two grant, they developed the Lettuce Utility concept to put under-used urban space to work, create healthy jobs, increase food security and build strong communities.
