Urban Planning

Great urban settings are diverse and well balanced in terms of physical fabric, public realm, and human behavior, providing a rich tapestry of experiences that evolve over time.

GHD is well equipped to tackle the challenges associated with the complexity of urban renewal and urban development projects. We strive to achieve a sustainable balance between the environment, the community, and the demands of the built environment.

Our urban planning projects are products of a multidisciplinary skillset and a collaborative approach to problem-solving. We understand the significance of incorporating issues that are important to a range of stakeholders, as well as finding integrated solutions. Collaboration across our many built environment disciplines adds value to our clients' prosperity.

Many of our team members have local and state government experience, allowing us to understand and negotiate the practical and political aspects of urban planning. Our approach to urban development often includes the facilitation of community and industry workshops. This method ensures that all available opportunities are examined through cooperative engagement with key stakeholders.

Whether providing creative input at the beginning of a project or providing detailed documentation towards final construction, GHD has extensive experience in all scales of urban planning and development projects, from small suburban studies to international city development, and can work together with clients to create lasting community benefit.
