• Leading Experience

We are experienced in planning, implementing and directing all forms of public consultation in the urban development field. We have a special expertise in design charrettes and the dynamic planning process – a holistic, collaborative, transformative planning process for physical design that fosters an environment of trust, reduces re-work and facilitates implementation.

Bob Ransford, Senior Consultant at COUNTERPOINT, has a Certificate in Urban Design from Simon Fraser University and he completed the Charrette Planner’s Program at Harvard University’s Graduate School of Design. He has an in-depth knowledge of dynamic planning, implementing its various elements in a wide range of urban development projects.

Ransford brings all elements of dynamic planning together in the sophisticated process of a charrette to create a designed-based win/win solution for the most controversial and complicated urban design and planning problems.
