Our planning philosophy shares similar roots in architecture, in that cultural signifiers of people and place are integral facets of urban design. Meaningful civic spaces analogous to a vibrant democratised public realm are purposefully woven into the urban fabric, to reflect cultural and economic development of the area.
Our blue-green approach represents another key aspect of town and city planning. In an era of increasing climate intensity, our role becomes ever more important in the effort to decarbonise new and existing townships while simultaneously incorporating resiliency to withstand severe weather events.
Be it a grass roof, suburban pocket gardens or full-blown city parks, civic greenery has been elemental to HIJJAS planning since our inception.
From cooler microclimates to decreased heat island effects, large-scale greenification has the power to affect positive change by catalysing community engagement and promoting health and wellbeing augmented by natural shade, lakes and other water bodies.
The benefits of a regenerative environment stretch beyond the social domain, as with selective flora strategies we can increase public realm biodiversity, restoring habitats and promoting the return of native species that enrich our urban ecological system.
21st century living has hastened the arrival of electrified personal transport as government impetus drives the global 2050 net zero agenda. Yet the fact of a rising single occupant car-driving population remains in spite of ICE vehicle downtrend. As the EV market matures, so are economies of scale achieved thus putting more cars on roads.
The future of urban planning lies in manifesting car-lite environments enabled by integrated public transportation and smart mobility solutions.
A transit-oriented development approach is a staple of HIJJAS planning, designed with light rail, bus and feeder transportation, optimised public parking and last-mile mobility in mind that frees up civic space and encourages pedestrianisation.
