Community Planning

What We Do

Stewart’s Community Planning team is committed to partnering with clients to build healthy, equitable, resilient and connected communities. Our experience as former public sector planners allows us to manage competing interests, clearly explain complex concepts and develop realistic implementation strategies. We work with municipalities and counties across the Carolinas, focusing on small- to mid-sized communities. 

Now, more than ever, our towns, cities, and counties are adapting to changing demographics, land use trends, environments and technologies. We do more than write and update land use plans and development codes. Stewart differentiates itself by bringing together planners, urban designers, landscape architects and engineers to provide a data-driven and design-oriented approach that yields optimal plans and stronger communities.
