Community Planning, Urban Design and Residential Site Planning

Regional and Urban Planning & Resource Development

The Challenge

The physical design of neighbourhoods is at the forefront of many municipal and community planning exercises. The real challenge is to creatively apply integrated urban design principles which contribute to the quality of life within communities. Each plan must take into account the needs of the community, planning principles, servicing and financing. A creative yet pragmatic approach to each issue is essential.
