The Box is an innovative tool, intended to support "built environment professionals, activists, organisers, educators, enthusiasts, and policymakers" who are working to improve urban environments for their communities.

Materials – including posters, pocket-sized books, an issue of Cityscapes magazine, case study folios, a vinyl record, a deck of informational cards, and a board game – are contained in a sturdy but affordable box which is easily disseminated. The contents of the Box can be displayed as a small exhibition, and deployed as teaching aids and as tools for serious play. The aim is to prompt users to generate practical solutions to the problems faced by urban communities.
