Cities and Communities

Developing cities and master-planned communities that can withstand the test of time and unexpected environmental impacts.

Creating master-planned communities that last

Our sustainable master planners are in the business of developing communities that can withstand the test of time and unexpected environmental impacts.

Demand for city living is at a high, with over a billion people forecast to flock to urban communities within the next 30 years – making the role of the sustainable master planner more valuable than ever before. Our expert teams have worked on developing sustainable community rating systems and regional 2030 plans, as well as future-proofing against the unexpected effects of climate change. When it comes to creating communities that last, we also consider how closely linked the following elements are: alternative transport options, water efficiency, materials and waste, regional employment balancing and community revitalization.

We work on some of the most prominent master-planned communities in the region. Here are some of the services we offer:
