PlanGreen works with governments and the private sector to provide:

• Planning and Urban Design

• Policy Development

• Public Involvement 

• Financing

to help communities become part of a regenerative economy.  

PlanGreen helps clients to integrate ecosystem services--the goods and services provided by healthy natural systems--into excellent urban design.  We help clients utilize ecosystem services to achieve highly cost-effective, long-term and sustainable solutions.  Our solutions often help to reduce a community's anticipated construction and maintenance expenses.  

We are working with others in the Congress for New Urbanism to develop the concept of Light Imprint New Urbanism.  This concept moves beyond such terms as green streets, natural drainage systems, low impact development and bioretention by incorporating elements from those concepts into excellent urban design.  

By partnering with other firms, we bring the client the highest quality design and policy framework to meet the challenge of sustainability--a framework that emphasizes pedestrian-oriented design and increased infrastructure efficiency.
