Community Planning & Design
Vibrant, thriving communities are shaped by innovative plans that effectively integrate sound planning, design, economic, and environmental principles that reflect local priorities and consider available resources.
We collaborate with our clients to create plans that are visionary and inspiring, while being understandable, financially feasible, and implementable.
We provide clients with the practical knowledge and experience gained from past successes creating and implementing a wide range of policy, design, and regulatory strategies to improve the livability, sustainability, and image of communities. We advance effective and meaningful planning through the collaborative engagement of the community, decision makers, project proponents, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders throughout the process.
Our plans enhance a community’s unique character, and are recognized for their issue driven approach, innovative and creative solutions, and understanding of local issues and values. We develop plans that clearly map the path from vision to reality so our clients actually achieve their desired results―plans that can effectively and understandably be implemented.
