What is Horizon 54?

From Equitable Cities → Horizon 54. Same mission. Bolder vision. 🌅

We’re proud to introduce Horizon 54.
Formerly Equitable Cities, our new name reflects our vision: every community has a seat at the table.
Same mission. Same commitment. Just a name bold enough to match.
This is just the beginning.
#Horizon54 #UrbanPlanning #TransportationEquity
Something new is on the horizon 🌅
For 15+ years, we’ve believed communities are the real experts. That hasn’t changed—but how we show up is evolving.
New name. Sharper vision. Same commitment to equity.
Stay tuned.
