Planning

Strategic planning involves a systemic planning process that takes into account the stakeholders requirements, the city or region's needs and the complexity of issues and challenges that the area faces. The process also allows for the stakeholders to be well-informed of all key findings, key issues and key proposals that will allow for better compliance of the plan and in steering growth in a smart, manageable and sustainable manner. As planners, one of our role is to guide city administrators on implementing the strategies and action plans made to address local issues and challenges.
Community
Engagement
We believe that success in planning is also measured on how well a plan takes into account community's needs and aspirations for their spaces. Planning with the people is embedded very strongly as part of our design process and plan making. We undertake varied methods of engaging the stakeholders ranging from interviews, brainstorming, focus group discussion, to a large scale public forum and design charette workshops. We have worked with varied groups of communities and stakeholders including the special groups of communities such as the disabled, women, single parents and youth.
Our approach for stakeholders involvement is not a one-size-fits-all process. Each engagement is developed specially for the project with defined public involvement goals, key stakeholders, tools and techniques to optimized the engagement process, clear and defined project milestones and the criteria.
