In today’s ever-changing urban landscape, many clients
seek assistance in creating vibrant, livable communities that
realize the best of both the natural and built environments.
PB offers innovative solutions through PlaceMaking, which
integrates community development and transportation to plan
and design sustainable projects with a sense of “place”.
PB’s multidisciplinary PlaceMaking staff blends expertise
in land use planning and urban development with our firm’s
traditional transportation design skills to make communities
that not only are of lasting value, but are better places
to live, work and play. Our work includes projects throughout
the U.S., as well as in Australia, China and the United Kingdom.
PB’s global experience and multidisciplinary approach
to PlaceMaking have made us a market leader in transit-oriented
development. Our many award-winning projects include: a transit
village concept for Hyattsville, Maryland that is becoming
a national model; planning on Portland, Oregon’s Westside
MAX that has helped set the standard for building livable
communities with transit; and the development of the Bay Area
Livability Footprint in San Francisco, California, which will
help the regional government shape the area’s future
through smart growth.
From regional, multi-jurisdictional issues on the macro scale
to site-specific guidance, our urban planners and designers
provide our private- and public-sector clients with solutions
that reinforce neighborhood identity while protecting the
environment. PB’s professional services in PlaceMaking
address the needs of our clients in eight interrelated practice
