We live in a visual world, one that will continue to change and evolve.
Visual resources are frequently the face of a proposed project for the public. From power generation and transmission, to public infrastructure and beyond, our visual resources experts accurately portray what new projects will look like in the landscape exactly as they are intended to be developed, without bias. Visual simulations and analyses paired with strategic communication can be critical in helping decision-makers, interested stakeholders, and the public understand potential impacts to their community and to build consensus.
The collection, analysis, and strategic communication of visual resources are an important branch of environmental planning services that allow our clients’ projects to move forward.
