PEOPLE FOR URBAN PROGRESS (PUP) is an Indianapolis-based 501c3 non-profit organization that promotes and advances public transit, environmental awareness, and urban design. We stand for project-based urban progress.

Both at the municipal and non-profit levels, we believe that Indianapolis’ urban issues, such as transit, energy, zoning, development, and design are managed as isolated fields, and not as parts of an integrated network. We have developed P.U.P. to help connect these disciplines, operating under the belief that improvements and changes should be made through project-based initiatives and community investment. This work, as exemplified by The Dome Project and the forthcoming Indy Car Share, demonstrates to the city and to the public that conscientious and responsible urban initiatives improve quality of life, the environment, and community awareness.
