COMMITTED AND INTELLIGENT MASTER PLANNING
BIG STRATEGIES
These far-reaching studies require bespoke methodologies to investigate and understand the current situation and then identify a future direction in collaboration with local stakeholders.
We often coordinate inputs from other disciplines such as economics, environment, social integration and infrastructure. The outcome is a programme of governance, investment, policy and delivery.
Clients are typically cities, regions or national governments.
A high quality and thorough piece of work, …[allowing us to] engage members on the critical question of policy preferences.
