Transport & Movement

We engineer award-winning transport and movement strategies creating vibrant networks that put people first, with innovation and climate sensitivity at their heart. 

We recognise that there is little point in creating inspirational buildings and places if people can’t get to them using efficient and effective infrastructure.

We blend art, science, technical excellence and emotional intelligence to shape our designs and we engineer at all project sizes, from a single building through to  masterplans. 

We recognise that the way we design transport networks has a profound impact on daily lives, neighbourhoods, and the environment. We understand that the way we move around, every day, is of interest and importance to everyone. It has the power to positively impact and make a difference to people’s lives as well as encouraging sustainable choices to help the planet. 

Connecting people to the places that matter, in ways and modes that complement their lives and life stages, helps create prosperous communities that are inclusive, inter-linked, accessible, safe, happy and healthy.

We design with active travel principles at the fore, encouraging walking, wheeling and cycling options, alongside public transport, reducing the dominance of cars as the de facto transport decision in our communities, towns and cities.

We design infrastructure with a long lens approach, planning transport and infrastructure networks that are fit for purpose for now and their next generation users. By modelling future scenarios, we’re making sure that today’s decisions support long-term sustainability goals. We create compelling designs, backed by evidence and data.

Our designs are rooted in low carbon strategy and layered in biodiversity principles. We actively champion, influence and innovate circular economy principles in our practice, committed to material management and reuse strategies, as a reflection of our system thinking approach.
