Commercial Planning
and Site Design 

Regional and Urban Planning & Resource Development

The Challenge

Commercial planning is an essential component of community building. Comprehensive policy and retail analysis is required to ensure a community's residents are adequately serviced by retail uses. Implementation through site planning and design must be practical, balancing site context, and urban design principles with private sector requirements.
