Burns + Nice is a professional urban design and landscape architecture consultancy which assists and represents public and private sector organisations in their urban and environmental planning, design and management needs.
We specialise in urban projects and are fully aware of the practical and institutional problems that must be tackled in order to deliver projects successfully in today’s towns and cities.
We have extensive experience of urban renewal, public realm planning and design and development masterplanning both in this country and internationally and we are fully supported by specialist consultants in engineering, transportation and cost management funding.
Our aim in achieving successful urban regeneration initiatives is to deliver solutions that provide social, cultural and economic gain to local communities and businesses based on focused, realistic and achievable strategies, business plans and programmes for implementation.
In achieving the goals for individual projects we are well experienced in undertaking extensive consultation programmes with all sectors of the community, in particular listening to and understanding the complex and often competing needs of residents, businesses and visitors.
Our skills range from feasibility studies through planning and design of specific projects to ongoing management and the provision of specialist services. We therefore have the knowledge, practical experience and management skills necessary to deliver results that require co-ordinated action among the multiplicity of stakeholders associated with urban development.
