What We Do

Planning for the cities of tomorrow.

Believing in holistic solutions that spark action and are rooted in a community’s shared vision for the future.

Developing Tools and Methods

We advance integrated approaches to city planning by developing and deploying new analytic, visualization, process-oriented and outreach tools and methods.

Facilitating Decision Making

We use effective communications and storytelling to create a shared understanding of current reality and future possibilities. This fosters principled dialogue about the risks and rewards of different planning options – ultimately helping to build consensus and facilitate decision-making. 

Developing Action Plans and Guide Policies

We partner with communities to discover the best strategies forward for creating cities that work. Community action plans, land use and transportation policies, design guidelines, long range transportation plans, corridor plans, planning guidebooks and comprehensive plans – we work at all scales to ensure that good ideas get on the right path towards reality.

We partner with communities and other organizations to plan for the cities of tomorrow. We are outcome oriented -- we listen, we study and we help people imagine how their cities might look, feel, function and change in the future. We facilitate trade-off discussions about different paths forward, and then work to identify the best approach for moving forward. We develop plans to help these futures become a reality.
