Urban Planning

Urban planning is about more than zoning maps and land use — it’s about shaping authentic, livable places. At Stratus, we approach planning and design by identifying opportunities to create a strong sense of place rooted in context. We embrace the Real Urbanism® philosophy, developed by Bernard Zyscovich of Zyscovich Architects, to support sustainable development. This approach involves understanding the evolution of a city or neighborhood by considering historical patterns, current needs, and future possibilities.

Our planning team applies this method to help cities grow with intention. We provide thoughtful design solutions that reflect a community’s character, engage diverse populations, and support economic and cultural vitality. It’s planning that works in the real world — not just on paper.
