Placemaking Creating distinctive, sustainable and active places.

Our process is collaborative and open, working alongside communities, stakeholders and clients to unlock the full potential of a place. Supported by innovative tools and technology and socio economic partners, our teams build a shared understanding of the strengths, challenges, priorities and vision for an area.

We provide urban design and masterplanning services across various scales and contexts from regional spatial planning to city and town centre regeneration, new communities, neighbourhood renewal, design codes, education and healthcare estates, business and innovation districts, streets, parks and public spaces.

We bring thought leadership in healthy placemaking, active travel, and the reinvention of places, along with experience of initiatives such as the National Design Guide, Building for a Healthy Life, Building with Nature, and Healthy Streets.

Starting with what is strong, rather than what is wrong, we analyse the historic development to understand the urban grain and heritage, and build an integrated design response.
