A virtual network of thought leaders, Stantec’s Urban Places produces innovative yet achievable plans that build communities of lasting value for everyone. We help clients capitalize on the economic, social, and environmental benefits of accessible, mixed-use downtowns and walkable neighborhoods. Our urban designers, engineers, planners, landscape architects, and economists know how their own active involvement improves their communities. That translates directly to their work and a commitment to improving your community.
