Planning

Our AICP certified planners are collaborative and forward-thinking in our approach to urban and community planning to develop and shape successful communities. At Barge Design Solutions (Barge), we are passionate about improving the quality of life for the communities and clients that we serve. Whether it's community-wide planning initiatives, such as where to invest in housing, parks, or transportation or site-specific developments, we work closely with both public and private clients to help them manage growth, navigate change, and make informed decisions that lead to successful outcomes.

Client-Centric Planning Process

Barge uses data-driven approaches, a broad understanding of interconnected policy decisions, and innovative planning techniques to work with clients to determine their needs, define goals, and set a path toward achieving them.

Balancing Community Needs

Our planners embrace the intricate dynamics of community development, encompassing a wide range of factors such as environmental, demographic, and sociological elements, as well as historical, cultural, and financial considerations. We create comprehensive and tailored solutions by leveraging innovative strategies. Our recommendations are rooted in thorough research, targeted community engagement, and detailed analysis of diverse data sets. This methodical approach enables planners to identify critical issues, such as neighborhoods lacking adequate housing or having unmet needs for park facilities. Our team of experienced professionals combines creativity with practical experience, incorporating best practices and relevant case studies. This ensures the development of plans that effectively address the varied needs of both public and private stakeholders.
