Planning for the future physical arrangement and condition of a neighborhood, community, or region requires a cross-disciplinary approach that is sensitive to unique physical, political, and environmental contexts. Furthermore, in order to produce successful and meaningful results, the planning process must engage the early and ongoing participation of affected and interested citizens, community leaders, and civic organizations.

Lee + Papa and Associates, Inc. is experienced in organizing and managing cross-disciplinary planning teams that incorporate the talents of architects, urban designers, economic development planners, transportation planners, cultural resource planners, and infrastructure planners. We are adept at designing citizen engagement and consensus building processes that are tailored to the special needs and requirements of each planning project and each client we serve. We are also keenly aware of the need for timely and reliable information in support of the planning and citizen engagement processes, as well as the affect that process can have on establishing realistic implementation policies, strategies, and priorities.
