The Urban Planning Studio at Canin Associates assists clients in both the public and private realms to create and implement powerful solutions for livable communities and outstanding places. Focusing on a core set of planning principles, the Urban Planning studio works towards the development of great people places, which include inviting neighborhoods, vibrant commercial centers and functional public spaces, through in-depth visioning, innovative urban design, creative programming and thorough execution.

At Canin Associates, we are strong advocates of placemaking, where the urban form, mix of land-uses and design details of a place work together to add immense value, creating viable, sustainable and authentic communities. Since 1980, Canin Associates has specialized in providing comprehensive planning and design services for large scale developments and, in recent years, we have increased our involvement with regional scale urban design and infill planning.

Whether negotiating through Florida’s complex, multi layered regulatory process to obtain approvals and permits, organizing and implementing international visioning charrettes to assist clients in identifying long-term goals and outstanding design solutions, or working with public officials to craft multi-county regional planning initiatives, Canin Associates creates timeless, place-sensitive resolutions to today’s most pressing issues. Above all, the Urban Planning studio is focused on creating great places, where visionary design meets practical solutions, community participation invokes place-sensitive planning, and authentic communities provide a high quality of life.
