Urban Associates, Inc. previously provided site planning and landscape architectural services in New England to municipalities on streetscape, downtown redevelopment and park planning projects, on school and college campus design projects and on private residential and commercial development projects from 1979 to 1996. Our office was previously located on North Amherst Road in Bedford NH. During that time under Mr. Urban’s direction the firm won numerous Builder design awards for our clients in New England some of which were published in Builder and Better Homes and Gardens Magazines. Mr. Urban was directly responsible for the redevelopment design of downtown Keene, NH that in recent years has been selected as one of the top ten great public spaces in America by the American Planning Association.
Mr.Urban is currently a licensed landscape architect in New Hampshire (No. 138), in Massachusetts (No. 637) and is a USGBC/USGBI LEED BD+C Accredited Professional.
Under Mr. Urban’s direction the Firm has set its goal to be a leader in design of low impact development (LID) design solutions with associated substantial construction cost saving to our clients. The firm recently completed the design and construction observation services for the first of its kind Waste to Energy facility located in the United States in West Palm Beach, Florida. Our LID design solutions included a green roof, permeable paver plaza with stormwater storage reservoir, green screen walls, solar panel covered parking, bioswale to treat first flush runoff, eco-art fountain designed to purify the water using plants and not chemicals and the design of a rainwater harvesting system with cistern storage for irrigation. This project was completed by Urban Associates, Inc. as a consultant to CDM Smith of Boston & West Palm Beach, FL.
