Community Planning

Effective campus, regional, and transportation planning is the cornerstone of successful development. At Akana, we provide integrated planning that transforms existing land into thriving, beautiful, culturally appropriate and feasible environments. Our comprehensive approach ensures thoughtful site development and design quality assurance from the ground up.
