Our urban design philosophy will guide our way
“Urban design is about place-making that creates social, economic, and environmental value”
“Urban design is about place-making that creates social, economic, and environmental value”
“If it doesn’t include us, it is not about us.”
People, then place, then buildings. The other way around never works.
“Homogeneity is our enemy.”
Starting with people…interviews
