Turning big ideas into real-world solutions for more equitable and sustainable cities.

Together Projects is a specialty strategic advising and project management consultancy. We work hand-in-hand with project leaders to navigate the complex process of making shared spaces successful, connected, joyful, and caring. Our rigorous, interdisciplinary approach provides long-term value for clients and equitable outcomes for communities.

Together Projects was established as a professional practice centered on the lessons of collaboration, curiosity and care founding principal Ellen Cavanagh learned during her decade as a key member of the leadership team behind the transformation of Governors Island in NYC. The practice has since expanded and now includes Ryan Russo, an urban innovator widely recognized for changing the way cities “do” transportation service delivery and planning.

Together Projects works at a range of scales with clients in government agencies, public-private partnerships, property developers, philanthropies and non-profits, cooperatives, technology firms, architects, engineers, urban planners, investors and entrepreneurs.
