Seventh Hill is a design consultancy dedicated to transforming people and places through measurable experiences.
 
Legend says great cities are built on seven hills. From ancient Rome to modern Seattle, from pilgrimage site Mecca to rapidly growing Kampala, dozens of cities around the world claim this same mark of greatness. Combining myth and geography, the story of seven hills has endured for centuries. But it's only one measure. As urban environments evolve, what are the various ways to measure their success?  

Seventh Hill believes great places are made from well-designed personal and physical relationships. The designed interactions between people and their surroundings occur during community engagement events, research activities, and everyday life. Rather than remain unchanged, relationships have the potential to transform both people and places. Achieving meaningful change experiences requires the integration of physical spaces, digital platforms, and social interactions. Seventh Hill designs environments to guide these processes of change. We help clients reach their seventh hill.

Rather than follow prescriptive methods, Seventh Hill combines urban design expertise with tailored evaluation tools to help clients achieve their desired outcomes. We partner with design firms, community organizations, and a wide-range of clients during early, middle, and final stages of transformative projects.
