New Urbanism and Sustainable Design We’ve incorporated new urbanism and sustainable design into many of the projects we have engineered. New urbanism refers to an approach whereby the planning and development of property focus on human-scaled urban design. It incorporates the principles of how cities had been built in the past, with more access to common space, sidewalks, housing and shopping within walking distance. New urbanism is an alternative to the sprawling, single-family homes on large lots that became popular post-WWII. Some believe new urbanism promotes healthier and more positive impacts on communities. The urban design principles can apply to new development, as well as neighborhood revitalization and preservation. It can be used in both urban and suburban areas, rural regions, and dense city centers. Sustainable design and development – In accordance with the World Commission on the Environment and Development, “…our design professionals meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” Sustainable design encompasses the use of products and processes that meet the long-term needs of the consumers while conserving the environment. Pickett, Ray & Silver incorporates sustainable design into our projects by evaluating and anticipating the environmental, economic, and social impacts and costs of the design and development. We consider several factors in our sustainable design solutions, including lifespan, energy savings, durability, renewability, and recyclability.
