Streetscape and Urban Design

We provide a wide range of expertise to improve the quality of life for all community members and transportation users, especially those facing unique challenges in dense urban areas. The team develops designs that maximize efficiency and transform public spaces into attractive, welcoming places that accommodate all modes of transportation, improve safety for all users, and encourage robust pedestrian activity.

Our approach is guided by practicing “design mediation”, where we use innovative public involvement techniques to make sure community voices are heard and integrated into the planning process. This allows us to achieve consensus on tough planning and design issues and develop strong relationships with public agencies, community groups, and elected officials to move a project forward. Our graphic design skills also contribute to the success of our public involvement methods because we create graphically sophisticated, clear, and communicative engagement materials and project deliverables that educate the public on the process and help guide them on their journey when the project is completed.
