Stakeholder engagement is also a key component of our approach: by involving government officials, project steering committees, partner organizations, and citizens early and often, we garner feedback, build consensus, and generate enthusiasm for future improvement projects. The result is a master plan that does not immediately collect dust on a shelf, but remains a living document that guides and nurtures future action. Examples of our service offerings include:

  • Site Assessment & Selection. Our planners, surveyors, and other professionals can help clients gather information about sites being considered for development. This early step in the planning process is vital, and WithersRavenel can help clients manage risk while considering possibilities.
  • Public & Stakeholder Engagement. WithersRavenel works with clients to harness their passion to drive engagement, encourage constructive feedback, and build consensus. We regularly interact with citizens and stakeholders to gather information during the project development process.
  • Open Space Planning. The value of open space to a community is undeniable, but must be weighed with future needs as well. WithersRavenel encourages a collaborative dialogue in the master planning process to decide if open spaces should be developed or preserved.

From large-scale master planning efforts to neighborhood theming and recreational amenities, WithersRavenel has the in-house, multidisciplinary expertise to elevate spaces to unforgettable places and enjoyment for generations to come.
