Planning & Urban Design
Magnusson Architecture and Planning has been doing community-based planning for nearly 30 years, beginning with Melrose Commons. That work serves as the basis for our collaborative, stakeholder-driven process.
Our inclusive planning and urban design work has been the foundation for vibrant and sustainable revitalization projects. We specialize in community visioning, master planning, site analysis and land use approvals, including ULURP.
