Urban Planning

Planning Services

We create forward-looking plans that balance growth, equity, and resilience while strengthening community identity. Our team develops comprehensive plans, zoning updates, neighborhood master plans, and long-range strategies that guide sustainable development. From small-area visions to regional frameworks, we deliver land use planning, climate adaptation, and policy support that align with community values. We support municipalities with interim staff leadership, development review, and interagency coordination, providing expertise exactly when and where it’s needed. With deep experience in transportation, mobility, housing, and redevelopment, we help communities design vibrant, connected, and inclusive places.
