Our services
Master Planning and Urban Design
Our master planning and urban design team are world leaders in creating sustainable, tangible place-based outcomes that improve our environment, stimulate equitable economic growth and leverage infrastructure investment to shape our local, city and regional communities.
Landscape Architecture
Working with clients around the world, we operate as an interdisciplinary network across which an open exchange of the best ideas fuels an integrated approach to placemaking. As landscape architects working within a multidisciplinary firm, we are committed to an analytical process, considering functional and performance-based aspects of each place while weaving together authentic characteristics of place.
Planning
Planning, economics and the environment play integral roles in shaping future cities, particularly through strategy development, policy planning, feasibility studies, development control and sustainability. We are instrumental in forging collaborations to reposition local economies, design master plans, execute regeneration strategies, create more sustainable environments, formulate comprehensive plans, and adopt regulatory and financing strategies that enable effective implementation.

We develop tools, processes, models and data-rich studies and services to help make sense of our world and guide people toward better decisions for shaping it. We are a resource for data and analytical methods, as well as best practices for decision-making frameworks. We develop, test and promote the next generation of tools that will analyze and design our world.
