We believe in the power of thoughtful design at all scales (region, city, neighborhood, lot and building) to provide a robust, adaptable and long-term physical framework for community. We also believe that with good design the values of environmental protection and economic vitality can be well integrated at each of these scales. It has been stated that good environmentalists make good urbanists, and vice-versa, as they both understand systems, diversity, connectivity and interdependence. We agree.
- Establish compact, complete and connected neighborhoods
- Reinforce community character
- Protect environmental resources
- Provide continuity connectivity and safety
- Provide housing choice and workplace opportunity
