our Process
We look forward to developing a process for whatever project your community, institution, or company is calling.
Whether an urban design effort is very public or very private, we develop a custom process to bring exciting design ideas to life. Decades ago, we pioneered an urban design process that effectively set the standard for today, and we’ve since perfected its applicability to the public, private, non-profit, and institutional realms. What drives this pioneering process are our tried-and-true steps of Listening, Testing, and Deciding. You will find these three elements at the core of every design challenge we undertake. We then tailor-fit this process to the specific needs of you and your project – working hand-in-hand with you through a unique design experience.
workshops + COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
One hallmark of our process is our ability to bring our design office to you - in person or virtual CHARRETTES. Our team can immerse themselves in your challenges, enabling instant input and feedback to guide urban design solutions.
UDA offers in-person and virtual community engagement tools to broaden the reach and participation where appropriate. Our techniques and process has been time-tested, providing opportunities for broad input into the design of communities.
UDA will work closely with you to tailor an approach to suit your project needs. In addition to in-person workshops, we provide interactive websites, surveys, and videos to best serve your project, stakeholders, residents, and constituents alike for meaningful public input.
See how this time-tested process has come to life in our portfolio of Projects from around the world.
