At VHB, our planning and urban design practice is committed to meeting the challenges of each project with the highest level of expertise, addressing client goals to achieve results that are implementable and sustainable. We work closely with our clients to understand each project’s unique challenges by bringing a comprehensive approach to problem solving, drawing upon our wide array of disciplines and skills to inform the planning/urban design process. This approach enables a balance among project needs, site constraints, and sensitivity to context.

The landscape architecture practice at VHB can help you create great places that attract visitors, shoppers, or residents. From the earliest conceptual and planning levels through the development of implementation strategies for funding, design, and development of improvements -- our landscape architecture team approaches each project with your goals in mind. VHB tailors its creative development strategies and design solutions specifically to our client"s program, budget, and vision. Our approach is founded on the recognition that we are environmental stewards for generations to come and we work hard to integrate our environmental and landscape design practices into the unique land development and transportation context of each project. Further, we make it our goal to deliver solutions that reinforce a community"s sense of place and identity through thoughtful design.

Understanding the existing conditions of a chosen property is a vital step in transforming vision into reality. From sport and entertainment complexes to university campuses and master-planned communities, land surveying services are critical from the beginning to the end of any successful project. VHB has more than three decades of surveying experience and employs a highly skilled staff of registered professional land surveyors, field technicians, CADD drafters, and office-support personnel who use the latest, state-of-the-art equipment and computer software to serve our clients in the public and private sectors.

Whether the project is an exciting new retail center or a high profile urban development, VHB’s unique multi-disciplinary approach is a principal reason that clients come to us for civil engineering, planning, and design services. Some of our services include regulatory permitting, stormwater, structural engineering, and project management and we take into consideration the transportation and environmental components that are crucial to completing projects.

Transportation planning involves many elements: roadways capable of accommodating traffic, convenient access, sufficient parking, and signing are just a few.  At VHB, we have experience executing all of these elements successfully.  Our nationally recognized transportation professionals offer clients the strategic, forward thinking of researchers, combined with the pragmatism and results-oriented approach of transportation planners.  VHB"s transportation planning skills include travel demand modeling, value pricing, freeway operations, large corridor planning studies, and transit planning.
