Practice Overview

Evidence-based planning that stands up to scrutiny.

Our urban planning practice combines deep technical engineering with contemporary city-making principles. From regional master plans to smart-city blueprints and transit-oriented neighbourhoods, we help governments and developers shape spaces that work — economically, environmentally and socially. Our GIS-native workflows and stakeholder-led processes ensure that plans are grounded in data, legally robust and publicly accepted.

With over 50 master plans delivered across 18 states, we have a proven track record in the full statutory planning lifecycle — from initial scoping and spatial diagnostics through regulatory submissions, public hearings and final approvals. We work seamlessly with DTCP, state town planning departments, Smart Cities Mission offices and AMRUT programme management units, bringing multi-disciplinary teams of urban planners, GIS specialists, transport engineers and smart-city technologists under one roof.

Our Services

Six specialist areas. One integrated team.

Click WhatsApp on any service to reach the specialist team directly — typical response under 2 hours.

Architectural Design

Functional and aesthetically considered building design integrating structure, building services and user experience — from concept sketches through statutory planning submissions and construction documentation.

Master Planning

Comprehensive spatial, land-use and infrastructure frameworks for towns, districts and growth corridors — integrating transport, utilities, green networks and economic zoning from regional down to block scale.

Smart City Planning

ICT-enabled urban systems including IoT sensor networks, Integrated Command & Control Centre (ICCC) design, adaptive traffic management and digital-twin city modelling for future-ready governance.

Transit Oriented Development

High-density, walkable mixed-use zones designed around metro and BRT transit nodes to maximise land value capture, reduce car dependence and create financially self-sustaining urban areas.

GIS Planning

Spatial data collection, multi-criteria suitability analysis and cartographic visualisation using ESRI ArcGIS and QGIS stacks to underpin evidence-based planning decisions at all scales.

Urban Infrastructure Planning

Roads, utility networks, public realm, storm drainage and urban green infrastructure planned to serve growing cities, unlock development capacity and improve quality of life.
