What will the future look like? Predicting future trends has always been a part of the human experience. Infrastructure planning in the 21st century needs to look further into the future than ever before. Technology allows us to make confident, bold predictions to plan for what our communities will need and want.

Some advanced mobility trends are here to stay in infrastructure planning:

• Smarter cities.
• Multimodal corridors.
• Connected, automated, and electric vehicles.
• Renewable energy sources.

But what do we want the future to look like, and how do we make that happen? That’s where the planning process begins.

Ultimately, planning attempts to enhance the quality of life for our communities. This means emphasizing sustainability and resiliency, improving mobility for all travel modes, achieving equity, and creating safer environments – for everyone.

Gannett Fleming brings together more than just planners. We are also engineers, architects, designers, writers, technologists, and more. Our clients value the variety of expertise we bring to the planning process – integrated all under one roof. The result is more effective collaboration, innovation, and planning solutions so the dividends of your investments can be enjoyed for many years to come.

We use interactive technology and visualization tools to effectively communicate plans to you and get buy-in from stakeholders, including regulatory agencies and impacted communities.
