GreenWoods Associates
About GreenWoods Associates
Judith M. Green, AICP and David W. Woods, FAICP founded GreenWoods Associates (GWA) in Seattle in 1992, focusing on citizen participation, comprehensive land use planning, main streets, environmental planning, parks, and neighborhood planning with an inclusive, culture-infused quality that reflects and enhances distinctive places. In collaboration with diverse resident-participants of the Seattle's Crown Heights and Ballard neighborhoods, as well as a team of planning specialists we organized, we initiated the urban planning approach now known as the "Seattle Model." This approach focuses on including the goals and voices of our clients and those who will be affected by our work throughout the planning process. Working with a team of specialists in diverse planning disciplines, we listen to and facilitate conversations among those who need to be there, do research and analysis to answer their questions, offer "best practices" examples and innovative alternative ways to meet their goals, create graphics and charts to help them make good choices, prepare reports, validate these, and make presentations to final decision makers and the community.
In 1996, we moved GWA to New York in order to pursue teaching and planning opportunities here, while expanding our regional and national opportunities to learn and to serve through working with public, private, and non-profit clients. For us, each planning project is a new opportunity to work with our clients and their diverse stakeholders, with whom we aim to create vibrant, livable, equitable, and sustainable communities.
