Community Planning & Urban Design
MIG focuses on developing innovative, sustainable and implementable plans based on performing detailed technical planning and design as well as building wide-spread community support. Our approach emphasizes strategic implementation resulting in new policies, programs and projects that directly and tangibly impact communities. This includes building in tools to create new public and private sector investments in the near term; providing guidance for staff in assessment of future development initiatives; building capacity to optimize scarce City and stakeholder resources; and aligning the right partners to catalyze real, lasting change.
