Urban Design and Town Planning
JMLA have been a significant influence in developing contemporary approaches to creating and maintaining place character in Australia.
Guidelines for environmentally sustainable development have been at the forefront of our research, with such studies as the Ecovillage at Currumbin and the Tooradin Village Community Plan, both highlighting new ways of dealing with infrastructure and development.
Strategic planning for urban centres has been undertaken throughout Australia, leading to structure plans, development control plans, cultural plans and economic development plans. JMLA specialise in taking a project from strategic planning right through to street detailing.
