How InTandem Works
Whether you’re working alone or with a group, you’re just three steps away from generating new ideas around tough urban challenges.
Step 1: Define your challenge
Start with a project you’re working on, a policy you’re rethinking or a new project you’re designing, and highlight a challenge where you could use fresh ideas or a new perspective.
Step 2: Draw your cards
Pick one card from the Eco deck and one from the Equity deck.
Choose your path:
– Solve one using the other card’s lens
– Or go full InTandem and tackle both together
Step 3: Generate and build ideas
Use the prompts to open up new thinking. Map ideas, connect dots, or draft solutions, from built forms to policy shifts, until something resonates.
