Our Impact

We work with clients to meet their sustainability goals, from city planning to major infrastructure projects, transport networks, and developments (housing, mixed-use, education and commercial). Through creative thinking, we develop solutions that promote community, improve nature's resilience, and offer opportunities for regeneration.

Our impact goes beyond the environment. We influence change at a government level through thought leadership and policy creation. We promote good design by sharing knowledge with colleagues and students – including the Get It Right Initiative (GIRI), which has involved 20,000 people to date – and our teaching work with schools and universities.
