Urban Design

Urban design is more than shaping spaces—it’s about creating vibrant, sustainable places where communities can thrive. Our approach blends creativity, commercial insight, and technical rigour to deliver masterplans that look exceptional and function flawlessly, tailored to diverse project needs—from city-scale regeneration to single-site developments.

At Tru-North Planning, our integrated team sets clear visions for every development, addressing both the character of a place and the priorities of stakeholders and planners. We involve clients early to ensure proposals optimise site capacity, boost project value, and reflect community needs. Our comprehensive services span concept design, full architectural support, and advanced 3D visualisation—bringing ideas to life and enhancing stakeholder engagement.

Urban design and planning is strategic; we focus on mixed-use environments, infrastructure, and sustainable frameworks for residential, commercial, and institutional projects, operating across scales and sectors. Through collaboration, innovative problem-solving, and relentless pursuit of design excellence, we unlock complex sites, secure planning consents, and deliver enduring, flexible solutions for clients and communities alike.

What is urban design?

Urban design is the process of shaping the physical environment of towns and cities, from individual streets and public spaces to entire neighbourhoods and city centres. It integrates architecture, landscape, and planning principles to create places that are attractive, functional, and sustainable for people to live, work, and connect.

How does urban design benefit a development project?

Urban design adds value by creating cohesive, vibrant places that balance visual appeal with practical solutions. Well-designed schemes attract investment, gain community and local authority support, and enhance the overall quality of life for residents and users. Integrating urban design from the outset streamlines the planning process and maximises site potential.
