Community Design + Architecture, Inc. is a planning, urban design, and architecture firm with a focus on green transportation and land use planning, mixed-use and pedestrian-friendly community design, and sustainable development. The goal of the firm is to shape development and public policy to create regions, cities, neighborhoods, and a built environment that are sustainable in terms of —

•  the linkages between land use patterns, urban design, transportation infrastructure and environmental systems;
  
• the economics for both the public and private sectors;
  
• green building technologies and infrastructure;
  
• integration of natural and built environments;
  
• short-term as well as long-term goals and needs;
  
• support for community and social welfare.

Community Design + Architecture has expertise ranging from an understanding of regional planning to the construction detailing of a mixed-use building or pedestrian-friendly streets. The firm is reviewing pilot projects for LEED-ND, the new rating system for green neighborhoods developed by the US Green Building Council, Congress for the New Urbanism, and Natural Resources Defense Council.

CD+A focuses on integrated land use, transportation, and economic planning; design of districts and neighborhoods that complement their context; design of multi-modal corridors and streetscapes that support vibrant communities; and achieving consensus among project stakeholders to lead toward successful implementation of our work for both private and public clients.
