Planning - Urban Design

Strong communities don’t just happen—they’re properly designed and built. They’re creatively imagined, collaboratively planned, and readied to face tomorrow with optimism. That’s why at INI, we take our promise to design with community in mind straight to the heart of cities and towns. Whether we’re bringing new life to an urban center, transforming a brownfield site into a valuable asset, or developing a new place for families to grow, we balance the needs of today with a passion for tomorrow.

 

The context of each structure and space influences the built environment. No single building or property exists in a vacuum. Our planners and urban designers understand the symbiotic and, at times, competing interests of the individual project and broader community. We also know how to align the two to create something larger than any one person or institution. By bringing all stakeholders together on a single team, we help our clients focus on what is possible. Our collaborative approach to Masterplanning, planning and urban design is evident in our design approach such as towns, campuses, parks, neighborhoods, districts and landscapes that respond to the economic, social, environmental and connective needs of the people in that community.

 

No single building or property exists in a vacuum. The context of each structure and space influences the built environment. Our planners and urban designers understand the symbiotic and, at times, competing interests of the individual project and broader community. We also know how to align the two to create something larger than any one person or institution. By bringing all stakeholders together on a single team, we help our clients focus on what is possible. Today that collaborative approach to Masterplanning, planning and urban design is evident in the numerous INI-designed towns, campuses, parks, neighborhoods, districts and landscapes that respond to the economic, social, environmental and connective needs of the people in that community.

 

INI’s urban design experience includes work at various scales. With a focus on creating sustainable communities and walkable neighborhoods, our designs respond to ever-changing urban environments and needs. Urban design brings together expertise from Masterplanning, Architecture, Urban Planning and Landscape to create unique places that recognize the particular qualities of location, tradition and culture. We transform cities, waterfronts, city centers, educational and corporate campuses and urban districts into vibrant, sustainable communities. We establish the vision, identify the means, and develop a framework for action, generating long-term economic, social and environmental value for private and public clients and communities. We advocate and take pride in our participation in urban design’s potential for positive change.
