Urban Planning

Planning bridges the gap between engineering and people to tell the full story of a place. The engineering and planning disciplines are intertwined at J&A and the best practices for each complement one another in our overall designs and approach to projects.

J&A’s team of planners brings technical knowledge and specialized tools to a broad range of planning projects, with experience that covers writing comprehensive plans, designing master plans, conducting demographic studies and population projections, and managing public outreach efforts. The team is experienced in entitlements, long-range planning, corridor planning, development review, site design, and GIS mapping and analysis. Additionally, our planners work with municipalities, private developers, allied design firms, and construction professionals across the region.
