We believe that nature is the master designer, architect and builder and that biomimicry will be a key influence in designing cities for future generations. Beyond early stage land use planning and development strategy work, the Planning + Urban design group is focused on innovative approaches to design for improving the public realm. From urban design interventions for traffic calming, to developing wayfinding signage programs that minimize and/or do not contribute to ‘sign pollution’ or visual clutter in dense urban environments, the Planning + Urban Design group at CDM Engineering frames design in the public realm with the end-users in mind. Additionally, planners at CDM Engineering specialize in cartographic and geospatial data analysis using the latest versions of GIS software.
