AECOM's understanding of how peoples lives shape and are shaped by their environments has provided unique insights into the design and planning of places at all scales. Whether working on a multi-acre corporate landscape, a small urban park, or a year-round resort, our landscape architects and urban designers consider the site's physical surroundings and the needs of the client as well as the financial mechanisms, long-term political effects, implementation, and maintenance of the project.

Our practice is not simply focused on buildings and sites but on systems: the physical framework of streets, squares, parks, plazas and gardens that contribute to sense of place. Effective design requires careful integration of the myriad features of a particular site, from issues of aesthetics and to those of ecology, circulation, infrastructure, visual impacts, and economic viability. AECOM's interdisciplinary approach brings together the best creative and strategic thinkers to facilitate the reciprocal relationships between specific sites and surrounding context.

Our work takes place in a variety of settings, from established downtowns to new communities to university campuses. What all of our projects have in common is the need for practicality, quality, and attractiveness. Underlying all that we do is the ideal of making places where we ourselves and ultimately, many others will want to be.
