We help communities create and nurture meaningful places for an equitable, resilient, and thriving future.
We are planners. We are placemakers. We are visionaries. We are collaborators. We work alongside our client communities to plan for more resilient and inviting communities.
Our community and area planning services create and implement plans, policies, design guidance, regulations, and strategies necessary to guide communities towards safe, sustainable, and beautiful futures. Our staff bring specialization for long-range planning on a community-scale, district-level strategic guidance, single-site design thinking, and everything in between.
We recognize that planning occurs every day on all scales.
We bring the expertise needed to prepare for and guide that change, while staying on top of local and national best practices and emerging trends.
Our multidisciplinary team of collaborative problem solvers brings diverse expertise, and a drive to remain at the forefront of emerging issues facing our clients and communities. Recognizing the intricacies and varied histories within each community, we ground our work in local context, equity, inclusion, and resiliency. From high-level visioning through development review, our full spectrum services are designed to empower communities, so they remain prepared to achieve a thriving and sustainable future.
