Spectra is much more than just a virtual community. Our mission is to inspire real-life projects on the ground, and change the way we build cities in the 21st century. Spectra aspires to become a digital urban prototyping platform that can support everything from pop-up events and interventions, to infill development projects, to large-scale urban development projects. Rather than any one person’s vision of a singular urban megaproject, Spectra’s cooperative aims to support ideas that emerge from the community and respond to real needs in cities around the world.

If you have an idea for a local project that can benefit from Spectra’s support, or you’d like to bring a Spectra workshop to your neighborhood or university, feel free to get in touch with the team via our contact form, or share your idea with the community on Discord.
