TOPP is a technology-driven social enterprise. Our projects leverage the Web to create a more open, engaged society.

We develop open source software, media products, and other projects that help people to come together to solve big problems.

In New York, for example, we helped change the city’s approach to transportation planning. We did this by bringing together community stakeholders in the New York City Streets Renaissance, and by developing political mobilizers like Streetfilms.org and Streetsblog.org. This work brought average people into the planning process like never before, and it succeeded in re-orienting city planning toward walkable, bikeable streets.
