Urban Planning & Design

Shaping our communities through design

Great places don’t just happen—they are born of a thoughtful vision and intelligent design. When you walk through a city, the dynamic urban spaces are what you remember and come back to experience again. That is what urban design is all about—making connections between people and places. It shapes cities and suburbs, whether through the planning of their buildings and neighborhoods, their streets and plazas, or their parks and infrastructure.

Our team of planners, architects, landscape architects, and engineers design spaces that are inviting, safe, accessible, and convenient—spaces that celebrate the value of social life in public places. We research and analyze land-use, growth patterns, nature, identity, the fabric of buildings, and the way people experience and use public places, all so we can better meet a community’s social, environmental, and economic needs.

In cities around the world, our designs create buildings, landscapes, and communities that minimize environmental impacts and connect people to their environment.

We walked the streets of Union Square to learn about the culture, the needs, the wants, and the passions of its people.
