Yes! We work with cities, towns and developers to do impact studies and identify risks to wildlife, water flow and topography, so that our clients can rest assured that their new office park or the relocation of their hospital campus, for example, is not detrimentally affecting the surrounding region.
Absolutely. Our team is always reflecting upon the state of the industry, and dreaming up new ways to define and address its challenges. We worry about all kinds of issues: how to track industry best practices… how to collect better data… the effects of new technologies… the psychological aspects of commuter satisfaction… questions of representation, equity and access… You can get a sense of some of our research interests by checking out articles written by and about us, but we also have a number of research projects that are on-going. Feel free to contact our Director of Development directly at lispethn@128bc.org if you have a ‘big picture’ issue that you’d like to discuss.
