We are experts in inclusive, sustainable urban development which creates spaces and places that inspire productivity, creativity and relaxation.
We can draw on over 30 years of global experience in all aspects of regeneration and placemaking, from site-specific projects and city-wide programmes. Our expertise includes leading and remodelling urban development services within the public sector (eg. in municipalities), and establishing and leading bespoke public-private or private delivery vehicles. We know how to bring all urban stakeholders together to achieve sustainable positive urban transformation.

We can support and add value to all stages of spatial development plans to make sure you create ‘places’, not just ‘spaces’ – from design development, to benchmarking and “critical friend” reviews, to soft landings and legacy planning and evaluation.
We can advise and support you in delivering your plans, either at an individual project or overarching strategic programme level, using our years of hands-on delivery of physical and socio-economic initiatives
We can help develop your business case, and advise on investment strategy & options to make sure you can fund your plans and ambitions. We have a long and successful track records in securing funding, grants, sponsorship and ‘in kind’ support from public sources (eg. EU structural funds, Arts Council England (ACE), Big Lottery/Heritage Lottery); trusts and foundations; corporates; and direct public campaigns/crowdfunding.
We can help you to develop appropriate, effective strategies and policies to deliver your objectives. This includes advising how to engage with all stakeholders during development, consult on emerging drafts and then communicate final plans.
We can use our extensive global networks to create bespoke study tours, onsite/offsite workshops and expert panels that provide invaluable two-way learning for all participants and hosts.
