Historically residential, commercial and office developments have been designed to prioritize convenience and access for those arriving by motor vehicle. Our designs allow people to drive less and walk, cycle and take transit more. Our plans benefit property developers, managers and users alike. They lead to:
Lower development costs through reducing parking requirements,
Increased livability and health by making walking, cycling and daily fitness, fun and convenient, and
Improved marketability through a lively and sociable ambiance.
Over the last 5 years, staff from GJD have helped over 30 existing and planned development sites to build healthier, happier and more sustainable communities.
