FMSA has developed its capability in Urban Design as a strategic response to the rapidly growing community and market demand for this expertise. An Urban design analysis considers the existing environment and future environmental sustainability, heritage, the macro and micro contexts, site-specific influences and other requirements of the community. The essence is to reduce complex factors to actionable scenarios, which can be translated into clear concise outcomes. Urban Design has become an integral stage in the planning and development approval process. It is a key element in designing successful outcomes in terms of the way urban spaces work. Considerations include the interface between public and private spaces, the natural environment and cultural values, including building and social heritage.
