    The Assistant Director for the Public Space Studio is a senior level urban designer experienced in leading a team of design professionals to conceptualize, research, design, and implement public space projects throughout the city.

This work is done in close collaboration with the Office of Design’s other teams - the Planning Studio and the Historic Preservation Studio - as well as other offices of the Department of City Planning, other City agencies, community members and leaders, and private sector partners.

    General Description and Classification Standards

    The City of Atlanta Department of City Planning (DCP) is committed to implementing Atlanta City Design and transforming Atlanta into the best possible version of itself. Adopted into the city charter in December 2017, Atlanta City Design articulates an aspiration for the future city that Atlantean's can fall in love with, knowing that if people love their city, they will make better decisions about it.

    The Office of Design of the Department of City Planning provides leadership for the physical design of the city. It accomplishes this through the design of physical plans for the logical organization of our future city, creation of vibrant public spaces that cultivate public life, and architectural guidance, including preservation, of high-quality buildings that contribute to a cohesive public realm. This work is framed by Atlanta City Design and driven by the desire to design a city for everyone in the most inclusive way possible.

    The Atlanta City Studio is the pop-up urban design studio operated by the Office of Design on behalf of the Department of City Planning. The studio’s mission is to provide leadership in the design of our city and the implementation of Atlanta City Design. It accomplishes this through project-specific design leadership and collaboration, educational programming, and inclusive community engagement. The Studio moves to different locations throughout the city to make its work and that of the Department of City Planning as publicly accessible as possible so that residents have an opportunity to play an integral role in the design of our city.
