Urban & Regional Planning >> Overview
Urban and Regional planners today are challenged to consider complex and uncertain issues such as:
- How could our region's current land development strategy affect employment distribution over the next 30 years? How do we effectively evaluate competing strategies?
- What will 4% annual population growth in our region mean for the load on public transportation services? For water, sewage and communications infrastructure?
- Which policies have the greatest impact on our region's atmospheric emissions levels? What about the trade-offs?
whatIf?® urban and regional planning models enable a holistic, quantitative approach to exploring these types of planning issues. We deliver models that allow clients to interactively create and analyze scenarios via simulation. The whatIf? approach enables superior group communication and consensus building leading to effective policies and strategies.
