Masterplanning and Urban Design aims to create liveable, sustainable and vibrant communities. Masterplanning involves creating a comprehensive strategic plan to guide the long term development of sites, and Urban Design focuses on the arrangement, appearance and functionality of the built environment. Together they allow for the sustainable development of sites which will thrive in the long term, and which will be uplifting places in which to live, work and play.
Greyfriars Urban Design provides comprehensive Masterplanning and Urban Design services aimed at creating liveable, sustainable and vibrant communities.
Greyfriars can offer both strategic and project masterplanning and urban design support for developments at all scales, from building and land development to town-scale regeneration.
The Greyfriars team has significant masterplanning and urban design expertise, creating solutions for how space is used in both public and private sectors including regeneration, environmental improvements and the creation of high quality public spaces, using landscape to connect people with places.
We work closely with communities and stakeholders to ensure that new infrastructure and development of the urban realm meet the changing needs of our society and deliver better places to live and work and play.
Your aspiration may simply an idea at this stage, or you may own land, have carried out consultation, options appraisals and business planning. Whatever the starting point, we have the skills and creativity to achieve place and people-led masterplanning solutions.
