Consult Lela

We believe in a brighter future

 Consult LeLa is a community engagement firm dedicated to making planning the future of our built environment an enjoyable and accessible experience for all. When we design from the margins and from a place of joy, we can create a world that works for everyone! We connect urban centers and gateway cities with their residents who are not civically engaged. Let us elevate your public engagement to an interactive, effective, personable process. 


At Consult LeLa we also believe in giving young people the power to provide solutions for our future and to make sure they are intentionally engaged. Creativity and imagination is needed to spark solutions. As humans who will inherit this world and envision their future from there, young people must be at the table discussing how we will live, travel, and feed the world. Youth have the creativity, will, and imagination to propel our world forward.


For the sake of humanity it is imperative that we envision our future in an accessible, collaborative, and equitable manner.

Consult LeLa approached SparkBoston about leading their Mattapan Social in August 2022. Our focus was to bring multiple city agencies planning for Mattapan under one roof and to invite Mattapan residents ages 21-40 into a space they were familiar with to connect them with these conversations.
