Urban design is a process rather than a product. It connects disciplines, integrating economic, engineering, environmental and social requirements to design and deliver high quality places that people want to be a part of.
Beca's team of urban designers have backgrounds in planning, architecture, landscape urbanism, and design skills and experience gained across New Zealand, Australia and internationally. We are a design-driven, environmentally responsible and people-focused team – and we ‘speak engineer'.
Our design projects range from local landscape architecture improvements to large, complex infrastructure. We have particular strengths in balancing land use, built form and transport requirements, and we work through the whole project life cycle from concept to delivery – including working closely with local planning authorities to ensure approval of the project’s master plans.
Our design guidance includes urban and landscape design frameworks and urban revitalisation design strategies. We are also well established in the review and assessment space, with experience on design panels and in District Plan review, policy drafting and Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design.
