By 2030, two-thirds of the world’s population will live in cities – at least 50% of these with a population of greater than 500,000. This transformation of the world’s urban population presents significant challenges as cities plan for the future in the face of dwindling natural resources, social change and growing demands on mobility networks and urban infrastructure.
At Steer, we understand the social, economic and environmental drivers of urban transformation and work closely with city authorities, planners and businesses to create the urban policies and strategies necessary for a sustainable urban future.
We have a long history of pioneering new and different ways of thinking. It started forty years ago with understanding that individual behavior drives outcomes, not transportation models. Today, we continue to apply this fresh thinking to solve new challenges. We look at every city differently – its people, value, uniqueness and character – and the integrated networks, ecosystems and structures necessary to underpin its future success.
Our advice is grounded in reality. We adopt an integrated approach to city shaping, drawing on insights from across the business to help our public and private sector clients realize the optimal return on their investment and the best outcome for their local objectives.
We work collaboratively with city authorities, stakeholders, developers, residents and businesses involved in shaping our cities and urban areas. Our core offer includes:
Yes, you are in the right place. After 40 years, we have changed our name from Steer Davies Gleave to mark our growing international footprint and our expanding portfolio into markets beyond transportation.
