Connecting People with Places
At JMT, we believe that great places begin with thoughtful planning and purposeful design. Our Planning and Site Design team connects people with places through a holistic, multidisciplinary approach that blends visionary thinking with practical solutions.
We approach every project as an iterative and comprehensive process—one that explores needs from multiple perspectives and integrates community, environmental, and economic priorities. Whether revitalizing an urban corridor, designing a new campus, or shaping a regional growth strategy, we work collaboratively to uncover opportunities, navigate regulatory landscapes, and deliver plans that are both imaginative and implementable.
Our team guides clients through local planning, zoning, and development ordinances to secure the necessary approvals. We combine technical expertise with creative insight to solve complex challenges—balancing form and function to create spaces that are resilient, inclusive, and distinctly rooted in their context.
From early visioning through final design, we bring together planners, engineers, landscape architects, and environmental specialists to ensure every site plan is grounded in reality and inspired by possibility.
Let’s shape the future of place—together.
