Astig Planning
Committed to Creating a Better World
Astig Planning was founded to address one core question: How are we going to plan our communities and care for our ecosystems in a changing climate?
​
Our answer: Together.
​
Astig (pronounced ah-STEEG) is the Tagalog (Filipino) word for 'fresh, bold, unique'. We believe that in order to resolve society's tough issues we need fresh, bold, and unique ideas and strategies.
​
Our planning services aim at transforming communities and landscapes through engagement, empowerment, and advocacy.​ We work towards a world of activated communities, healthy ecosystems, and lasting equity. A world in which those most impacted by today's social problems are at the center of creative, community-based solutions that lead to full and dignified lives.
Community & Environmental
Planning
Since 2015, we have worked with community members and leaders to create comprehensive and master plans in order to responsibly grow their towns or envision a project.
We provide interactive settings for people to get out of their seats and meaningfully contribute to a plan that will shape their community. Our outreach style is aimed at attending community events, meeting people where they live/work/play, and making sure all of our materials are accessible, whether through translation or readability.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
A more inclusive and diverse place to live and work leads to a vibrant and innovative world. Astig Planning understands the need to bring our full selves to our work, and in order to do so, there needs to be brave spaces that center diversity and inclusion.
​
In Strategic Planning+ we offer a strategic planning process that is grounded in a racial equity/gender inclusion framework. We assist organizations/ business/non-profits/agencies in developing a strategic plan that will improve team efficiency, communication, and team building.
