We're honored to be working with Field Operations and Arcadis on this landmark effort to redesign 5th Ave. This plan will widen sidewalks by nearly 50%, more fairly apportioning the space for tens of thousands of daily pedestrians. #UrbanPlanning #UrbanDesign #transportation

We're delighted to see Oak Park featured in WWF's We Love Cities campaign! We're helping the Village of Oak Park make it easier to walk and bike and improve street safety for all users, key components of the village's strategy for achieving net zero emissions by 2050. #transportation #ClimateAction #UrbanPlanning #walk #bike

From expanded sidewalks and dedicated bike parking to live commuter information, Transportation Demand Management (TDM) helps ensure better mobility options & access. We were proud to work with the Chicago Department of Transportation on this comprehensive TDM guide for developments. https://lnkd.in/eFZuYg_V #TDM #TransportationDemandManagement #transportation #UrbanPlanning

Life cycle assessments and energy models shape building design but often miss the bigger picture: how do we actually live and move in these spaces? Read our latest #ImpactFund report ➡️ https://lnkd.in/geNT8WkY ✳️Reshaping How We Live & Move: How Tall Urban Towers & Suburban Communities Can Realize 1.5°C Ambitions✳️ Together, transportation and the built environment generate nearly two-thirds of global emissions. In this report, we explore a new method to measure carbon emissions that shows even "zero-emissions" buildings will exceed targets due to material carbon and transportation impacts. The takeaway: we must shift focus to sustainable transit and low-carbon materials to hit climate goals.

In an emergency, every second counts. Planner Kelly McGuinness, AICP supported the research and development of this new report from State Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Sam Schwartz, which found that traffic congestion was a major factor in worsening NYC 911 response times. https://lnkd.in/eupHqQwm #emergency #EmergencyManagement #UrbanPlanning #transportation #FirstResponders

Characterized by its iconic skyline of skyscrapers, NYC’s crowded streets and dense urban blocks holds critical keys on our journey to net zero carbon emissions. With the world expected to add the equivalent of an entire NYC every month in global building stock from now until 2060, we cannot afford to do things the way we always have. The time for action is now. In partnership with Sidara’s collaborative—including Introba, Perkins&Will, and Currie & Brown—we’re excited to host the Sustainable Cities Summit during next week’s #ClimateWeekNYC. From reimagining urban mobility to designing and optimizing our buildings to meet the demands of climate change, this summit will explore how we can transform our cities into healthier, more sustainable places to live, work, and thrive. Our speakers, Michael A. Shamma, Kate Sargent, Justin Den Herder, PE, Melvin Wah, AICP, and Mike Flynn, will showcase ideas and solutions and, more importantly, demonstrate how we can overcome the challenges of implementing them in the built environment.
