When governments and developers have an idea but need guidance on its implementation, they often call on PB PlaceMaking to provide the expertise needed to move the concept to reality. We assist clients with land use planning and public policy projects ranging from day-to-day planning services, to strategic planning and coaching aimed at leveraging local funds with federal resources or gaining approval for plan amendments, to research on best practices and policy implementation.
We work with our clients on creating complete communities and applying New Urbanist and smart growth principles. Our expertise includes:
- Creation of the federal New Starts land use evaluation framework.
- Knowledge of best practices for sustainable communities and transit-oriented development through research for Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP), National Highway Cooperative Research Program (NHCRP), Urban Land Institute, local government agencies and professional associations.
- New or updated form-based code and design standards that consider the whole urban form rather than just individual physical components.
- Groundbreaking policy work on the land use implications of transportation investments; increasing roadway capacity while reducing the width of the roads; and regional growth management.
