Cities
Every city faces tough development challenges, from meeting the needs of growing populations to tackling air pollution or finding local ways to improve economic opportunity. And action on these issues must align with cities’ transition to net zero and adaptation to climate risks.
We are active in hundreds of cities across the world supporting city leaders and authorities, investors, developers and community groups to shape a better future for their city. Our strategists, economists, urban planners, designers, and technical specialists are working across multiple cities that vary enormously in terms of their age, scale, and physical make-up, applying an integrated approach to solve their issues. Our aim is to produce more sustainable environments and buildings, improve transport connectivity, achieve cleaner air, provide better access to health and education facilities and stimulate more economic activity.
