We provide an innovative, holistic approach to urban development that integrates urban design, development metrics, resource management, architecture, engineering and landscape solutions. We design and arrange urban elements to create cohesive, fit-for-purpose spaces.

Transurban was founded on the principles of 'ekistics', or the science of human settlements (“Constantinos Doxiadis” - Athens).

It relies on an understanding of the complex relationships between various urban elements:

• Housing and human needs

• Buildings and public open spaces

• People and places

• Landuse and accessibility

• Movements and urban structure

• Development and the natural environment

• Feasibility and funding

• Strategy and implementation

We thrive on integrating urban development within our wider landscape with the view that each part must successfully contribute to the overall whole “a well-functioning urban environment”.

We achieve this through policy development, spatial planning, plan changes, master plans, detail design and implementation.

We work closely with, and enjoy the synthesis between the contributions the development community provides to projects and our urban spaces across New Zealand.
