We’re staying ahead of the curve to help our clients and communities prepare for what’s next.

Building More Equitable Communities

Throughout California, low-income communities and communities of color struggle with a disproportionate burden of pollution, health impacts, and social and economic disadvantages.

Confronting the Housing Crises

Crises? Yes. Californians face multiple distinct but interrelated housing crises because of past industry and government practices—housing supply, housing costs, the jobs-housing balance, and housing equity are different crises.

Retrofitting the Built Environment

Cities and towns have always been dynamic—populations grow and age, commerce and industry evolve, and the built environment has to change too.

Tackling the Challenges of Resiliency

Communities, working lands, and natural areas face unprecedented challenges from natural and environmental hazards, many of which are exacerbated by climate change.

Just as no two places are the same, neither are our solutions.
