PROCESS
WE COLLABORATE.
We can accomplish amazing things when consultants, clients, and stakeholders come together. We schedule project work around regular, intensive working visits over the course of several days or longer. Clients are busy too. They have our undivided attention during work periods, and it helps them more effectively accomplish their goals.
wE INNOVATE.
On every project, we form a core team of talented consultants to identify and respond to the key questions at hand – experts in transport, market/economic, sustainability, and more – we work with the best international and local partners to provide a balanced range of perspectives. Continuous collaborations with talented designers, engineers and economists spark new ways of thinking about problem solving.
WE FACILITATE MEANINGFUL DISCUSSIONS.
We believe in bringing people together to tackle complex problems. Urban Strategies’ design charrettes are less about presenting, and more about working together with multiple stakeholders – experts and lay people – to analyse, illustrate, design and test solutions. We have developed tools such as on-the-spot 3D modelling to allow groups quickly, iteratively and successfully collaborate.
WE BELIEVE IN CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.
We love to learn and to teach, as a way of ensuring we understand the latest theories and research into city-building and best practice world-wide. We regularly lecture at industry events across the country, and teach planning, design and engagement courses.
Acknowledgment: In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the Traditional Territory of the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council and Kwanlin Dün First Nation and all people who make the City of Whitehorse their homes and whose relationships with the land continue to this day.
