Urban Development & Design
Two thirds of the world’s population are predicted to live in cities by 2050 and according to studies conducted by the Secretariat of the Convention on Biological Diversity 60% of the urban areas expected to be developed by 2030 that have not yet been built.
In response to these trends, we employ a holistic approach to urban development that encompasses strategy, planning, and world-class technical design services and is based on an integrated multidisciplinary skills base. We have an extensive track record working with a number of the world’s largest cities to create live-able, sustainable, implementable and long-term urban development solutions that are fully adapted to the local context.
The development of sustainable urban solutions has been part of Out Sourcing Planning’s DNA since the company’s foundation years. Our philosophy is to always plan and design for people and we pride ourselves on creating technically excellent solutions that promote improved quality of life.
A holistic approach to urban liveability and development
To achieve live-able solutions, our holistic and integrated urban planning model encapsulates the environmental, social, economic, and physical aspects of a city – rather than treating each element of the urban environment, such as water or transport infrastructure, in isolation.
We recognize a market need for an all-encompassing service provider that can offer independent guidance and practical support at every level of the urban development process.
Our comprehensive offering covers:
- Strategy – We create the framework for exploring and identifying benefits, needs and long term focus areas through our management competencies in governance, policy making, socio-economics, and stakeholder management
- Planning – Our ability to transform innovative ideas into pragmatic, implementable proposals is borne out of an extensive record on urban master planning projects worldwide
- Detailed design – We help to realize liveable solutions by drawing on our world-class technical expertise within areas such as transport infrastructure, water and energy, sustainable buildings, architecture, urban landscaping and design.
Tailored and implementable solutions
We understand that there are no ‘one size fits all’ answers to achieving liveability and we, therefore, develop solutions that are fully adapted to the local context to ensure local ownership and long-term success.
In addition, we are strongly focused on developing implementable master plans that are both tangible and cost-effective.
