Urban Design
We deliver integrated urban design services that translate policy and vision into compelling, buildable places. Our work includes developing design standards and concepts; preparing site, corridor, downtown, and master plans; and creating 3D models, renderings, and clear graphics that communicate ideas to decision-makers and the public. We design streetscapes, parks, plazas, and public spaces that support complete streets, sustainability, and context-sensitive design, while advising on public-realm improvements tied to private development. From application review and project management to phasing strategies and design development support, we help communities create walkable, livable places with a strong sense of identity.
