Urban Design

Dynamic solutions for complex places

Urban design is place-making! It is the layering of the urban systems of land use, multi-modal transit, and open space to create dynamic places for healthy living. We believe that the best urban places are multi-functional and mixed-use, with access to quality education, jobs, recreation, and health services.

At EDGE, we apply our urban design expertise to a broad range of projects including downtowns, corridors, and redevelopment sites.
