Urban Places
Creating places for people
Everywhere we work—in cities and suburbs alike—economic shifts and demographic trends are creating a demand for urban living. We hear from our clients they need a new approach to the challenges they face—one that's integrated—and our Urban Places team provides just that.
We bring together urban experts across a wide range of disciplines to collaborate in helping communities across the globe chart a path to increased livability, equity, and sustainability.
More than just a collection of technical skills, our integrated approach “connects the dots” to solve complex problems and unlock bigger opportunities.
We're visionaries who push the edge of innovation but keep plans grounded in the realities of the market, urbanists who understand how to use infrastructure projects to attract private investment, and designers focused on creating great neighborhoods and building places for people.
Meet the urban suburb
It’s a new world for suburbs, and our team knows it well. We've worked on plans for walkable, mixed-use suburban centers across North America. Our team helps suburbs look at their future—reimagining them as 21st century centers of community—to enhance economic competitiveness, fiscal sustainability, livability, and resilience.
