Kevin Gardiner has a background in planning and architecture, including experience in both current and advanced planning in both the public and private sectors. His high standards are an outgrowth of his natural passion for the way we interact with our cities, streets and buildings. With relationships and respect from the leaders in related disciplines, KGA is able to assemble cooperating teams that result in a greater sum together than as separate parts. Dedication to honesty and fairness in all relationships shapes the process. Planning and related areas: • design guidelines • form-based codes • transit oriented development • pedestrian oriented development • urban infill developments • building prototypes • jurisdictional processing • design review • master planning • new town planning • specific plans • visioning • mixed use developments • live/work • development feasibility • development marketing concepts • development branding • mediation and problem solving • property sale and rental issues • technical writing KGA’s approach to providing planning and design services is to listen to the client throughout the process. For each project KGA creates a custom approach that is continually adjusted to the client’s needs, but without losing sight of the project objectives and goals. KGA remains mindful of who the client is, what the objective is, how the product will be used, and how decisions will impact current and future members of the community. Through frequent meetings, workshops, and a range of analytical tools, issues and alternatives are explored and evaluated until the project goal is realized
