Our Urban Diagnosis & Retrofit approach identifies the strengths, challenges, and untapped potential within urban environments. By combining detailed spatial analysis, community insights, and sustainability assessments, we craft tailored strategies to rejuvenate public spaces, infrastructure, and neighborhoods.

Key Focus Areas:

• Spatial Analysis: Assessing the functionality and inclusivity of existing urban spaces.

• Sustainability Integration: Embedding green solutions to reduce environmental impact and promote resilience.

• Community-Centered Solutions: Engaging local stakeholders to ensure strategies reflect the needs and aspirations of those who live and work in the area.

• Targeted Retrofitting: Upgrading buildings, streets, and transit systems to align with modern needs while preserving cultural and historical integrity.

Crafting cohesive strategies for vibrant, integrated public realms.

Our Public Space Vision defines the hierarchy, character, and purpose of urban spaces to create a balanced, people-centered public realm. By focusing on how spaces are experienced at eye level, we integrate function, density, connectivity, and ecology into a seamless and engaging vision.

Key Deliverables:

• Activation Plans: Identifying key areas to energize and bring communities together.

• Concept Designs: Shaping spaces that blend form and function for lasting impact.

• Pilot Recommendations: Testing innovative solutions to ensure effectiveness and scalability.

• Actionable Steps: Delivering clear strategies for implementation and long-term evaluation.

Setting the standard for cohesive and sustainable urban design.

Our Urban Design Guidelines & Toolkits establish citywide standards for elements like bike lanes, public art, street furnishings, and more. We align these standards with broader urban strategies and policies, ensuring consistency and integration across public spaces.

We provide clear, actionable guidelines and assist in embedding them into public codes and city frameworks. Through training sessions, we bring together diverse stakeholders to create a shared vision and ensure smooth implementation. Our custom toolkits empower cities to create vibrant, accessible, and sustainable environments that reflect their unique character.

ransforming urban environments into dynamic, connected, and future-ready communities.

Our Neighborhood Transitions strategy focuses on retrofitting urban infrastructure, fostering community integration, and incorporating innovative technologies. By developing comprehensive public realm plans, urban design guidelines, and policy recommendations, we create neighborhoods that are adaptable, inclusive, and technologically advanced.

Through collaboration with local partners and stakeholders, we implement strategies that bridge gaps in infrastructure, strengthen social connections, and integrate smart solutions. This approach ensures neighborhoods are prepared to thrive in an ever-changing urban landscape.

A place-based approach to turning organizational goals into impactful outcomes.

We help organizations align their mission with actionable, place-based strategies that inform investment decisions and programs. By refining processes, optimizing funding, and setting measurable metrics, we ensure goals translate into tangible results.

Our tools and training workshops enhance organizational capacity, empowering teams to drive lasting, measurable change in neighborhoods and communities. Together, we build strategies that not only achieve your mission but also leave a meaningful legacy.
