The Open Planning Project (TOPP) is a non-profit incubator for projects and technology to catalyze large scale social change.

TOPP identifies opportunities where great improvements to the world can be brought about by focused action. We leverage our expertise in technology development, media production, and urban policy to drive positive change.
