The best urban spaces don’t just happen—they are invented of a contemplated vision and intelligent design.

 

When you visit a beautifully planned town, the dynamic urban spaces are what you remember and come back to experience again. That is what urban planning 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 believe in the value of social life in public places so we design spaces that are inviting, safe, accessible, and convenient. We research and analyze land-use and growth patterns, nature, identity, the fabric of buildings, and the way people experience and use public places.

​

With detailed research informing our work, our design incorporates flexibility for a variety of uses and users to respond to social, environmental, and economic needs. In cities around the world, our designs create buildings, landscapes, and communities that emerge as models for minimizing environmental impacts, and connecting people to their environment.
