Master Planning

Complex, evolving, living entities, the world’s 10,000+ cities embody the aspirations of our diverse cultures and communities. Our masterplanning team designs sustainable, resilient smart cities and places using our Biourbanism systems-based workflow. The team delivers a full range of urban services including feasibility studies, design strategy, policy, master plans, frameworks, structure plans, guidelines and implementation plans.

These services bridge the full spectrum of scale from giga-scale regional master plans, to new cities, precinct design and the creation of vibrant local places. We utilise computational methods to build detailed digital twin urban models integrating data intelligence and simulations from the Biourbanism Lab.

Inclusive in process, our urban master planning services unite multiple parties to deliver mutually beneficial outcomes for clients, communities and the environment. The team interacts closely with a multitude of consultants to deliver resilient, prosperous places and built environment outcomes.
