A guiding force in the fields of urban planning and design, EDAW's Urban Design and Regeneration services seek the opportunity to serve as global leaders in crafting environments of lasting value in partnership with our clients and their communities. EDAW brings together the best designers, planners and original thinkers to create world-class urban design and regeneration projects.

Our role is the crafting of urban environments that enable human contact and interaction, business and trade. Our work is about creating successful places through the expression of a physical framework - a structure of streets, squares, parks, plazas and gardens that foster greater expressions of urban life. The quality of these public realms can be measured by their interconnectedness and how they generate economic, social and environmental value by defining the spatial patterns of human life.

Urban environments are in a constant process of transformation. EDAW conducts research to understand the demand trends that inform the changes for a host of facilities, structures, urban environments and open spaces. Our approach is about delivering a robust, flexible and meaningful framework for action, or one that allows an adaptive response to shifts in future demand. In this way, we anticipate future potential and create enduring solutions.

EDAW's Urban Design and Regeneration Service draws from the firm's extensive experience of crafting frameworks for action across cultures, utilizing a "fusion" of interdisciplinary services through a network of international offices. We have a proven track record of working with a variety of clients and other design consultants. Our pursuit of a cultural and environmental fit, combined with our extensive continuing research agenda, allows us to broaden and transform the client's ideas of what is possible for both the market demands of today and in the future.

EDAW's Urban Design and Regeneration Services undertake feasibility studies, master planning, urban design frameworks and public realm work as well as tourism and heritage strategies and a wide range of regeneration initiatives. EDAW are world leaders in designing, managing and implementing urban regeneration projects.
