We support municipalities in transformations that improve efficiency and increase customer satisfaction. We secure and structure funding for master plans and economic development projects, leveraging public and private funding opportunities and government incentives.
Community Planning and Economic Development. We help decision makers plan and develop infrastructure that supports economically vibrant cities that sustainable both environmentally and socially. We focus on planning and developing cities that support growth, without compromising social sustainability. Managing growing cities and their supply of resources is a formidable task that places heavy demands on infrastructure and the environment. We focus on finding solutions that will support economic growth while reducing pollution and waste. We aim to resolve the critical issues faced when planning, financing, developing, constructing, and operating infrastructure to reduce cost and accelerate and optimize projects. We work with regional governments, foundations, non-profits, public utilities, and businesses to plan and develop new cities and redesign existing urban areas. Throughout the lifetime of a project, we work closely with clients to build their capabilities and ensure the sustained impact of these projects. Our role includes:
Developing engagement strategies for the private sector to optimize financing opportunities and improve feasibility of municipal projects. Developing economic master plans for new and existing development zones.
Developing strategies for using digital technology to address public challenges and improve service delivery. Assessing the requirements for and economic feasibility of major infrastructure associated with development.
Developing municipal system strategy and plans and accelerating the delivery of municipal initiatives through implementation support. Modeling the economic and environmental impact of major infrastructure on cities.
Designing and implementing initiatives that reduce transit time, increase access to public transport, and create world-class mobility innovations. Evaluating and launching performance improvement programs for city infrastructure-related services.
Implementing programs that increase revenue from taxes, fees, and fines, as well as improving monetization of assets and resources such as land and data. Providing project management support to establish and develop major urban infrastructure projects.
To meet this challenge, government has to come up with a clear and coherent set of ideas—a vision—and use available resources and instruments as efficiently as possible to produce the results that citizens expect. The risk taking involved in articulating and defining a progressive vision for the future is what defines great leadership. Achieving that vision as effectively as possible requires effective risk management—in other words, good governance. Managing these investments, while encouraging economic growth and safeguarding natural resources is a difficult task. We can help. We focus on planning and developing cities that support growth, without compromising environmental or social sustainability.
