Strategies for Cities

Shaping resilient and equitable urban futures.

We craft ambitious, evidence-based strategies that guide the future of towns and cities. In an era of rapid change, we help cities navigate complex challenges—from climate resilience and inclusive growth to economic vitality and social change.

Our work is about creating actionable frameworks for impact. We identify opportunities, build consensus, and develop spatial visions that empower communities and create a lasting, positive legacy.

Masterplanning & Design Codes

From spatial vision to built reality.

We translate vision into place. Our masterplans are co-designed and establish robust frameworks, whether it is for new neighbourhoods, repurposed districts, or urban extensions. We operate in complex existing urban environments, including brownfield, as urbanists, always keeping in focus the role of specific sites in the wider context of the city and their potential in supporting its competitiveness, resilience  and inclusivity.

Destination Placemaking

Creating places with identity.

Great places are more than just buildings; they are experiences. We help municipalities, Business Improvement Districts and estates in shaping visitors and residents user experience. We go beyond the physical to understand the narrative and spirit of a place, weaving together cultural strategy, public realm design, and community activation.

Our approach is holistic, considering everything from the "day in the life" of a resident to the "wow moment" for a visitor. We transform overlooked spaces into thriving, memorable, and commercially successful locations that are full of life.

Foresight & Research

Intelligence for resilient urbanism.

We support city makers in navigating an uncertain future. The cities of tomorrow are shaped by profound shifts—from technological disruption and climate adaptation to new models of living and working. Simply reacting to these trends is not enough. Our strength lies in bridging the gap between emerging trends and the physical reality of the city.

We use our understanding of city making to translate abstract futures research into tangible spatial implications. We explore how global trends will impact the physical form of your city, its infrastructure, and its evolution. Our work provides the critical intelligence needed to make robust decisions and shape places that are not only relevant today but ready for tomorrow.
