Downtowns across North America are at a turning point. Office vacancies and shifting foot traffic don’t signal failure—they signal a need to evolve.
Our Urban Places team brings together leaders in planning and urban design, mobility, resilience and sustainability, mixed-use development, real estate advisory, and smart cities. Their goal? To unlock the growing demand for transformative downtowns.
