Urban & Regional Planning.
The service
Urban and regional planning is a technical and political process of designing and organizing land use (including air and water), passing into and out of a planning area to promote equitable development, enhance quality of life, and address social, economic, and environmental constraints.
01 · Approach
How we work.
Our key components of urban and regional planning include land use planning, physical planning, transport planning, urban design, environmental planning, community development, and economic development.
Land use planning
We focus on the allocation and regulation of land for various uses such as residential, commercial, industrial, agricultural, mixed-use developments, transportation, public spaces, public utilities, and public purposes — in summary, the “what” and “where” of land use allocation and regulation.
Physical planning
We deal with designing and organizing physical infrastructure within planning jurisdictions.
Urban planning
We develop comprehensive urban designs, master plans, and zoning regulations to guide and control development in urban areas.
