After 100 years of growing domination by the automobile, we know our cities cannot sustain themselves on 20th century growth patterns. Suisman Urban Design has fifteen years of experience helping cities, transit agencies and communities find better ways to foster urban mobility. Their  projects range from regional transit planning to award-winning designs for transit lines, stations, and furnishings. They help design rail, bus, automotive, bike and pedestrian systems which do more than simply move people: they help foster the social, economic, and cultural vitality of the places people want to go.

Suisman Urban Design has prepared site planning and architectural concepts for a proposed mixed used "Eco-Center" in central Los Angeles. The center embodies many of today's best sustainable "green design" practices. The design supports mass transit with a new public plaza linked to the Wilshire Metro Rapid bus station. New retail serves transit riders and residents. An existing building is renovated, and a new retail structure incorporates solar panels and a menu of sustainable building materials.

As a fully licensed architecture firm, Suisman Urban Design places architecture at the center of urban design. Buildings alone do not create vibrant cities, but architecture can create a powerful and permanent framework for urban vitality. We stress the integration of architecture with its natural and man-made setting. Our work is contemporary, but responsive to its context. They treat each architectural project as a contribution not only to the city's evolving built form, but to its healthy relationship with the natural environment.
