Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Projects

We specialize in creating connected, walkable communities by integrating public transport with high-density, mixed-use spaces. Our TOD projects, such as Altairus, Belgravia Heights, and Metro 78, demonstrate our approach to reducing carbon footprints and fostering vibrant, community-centric growth through car-free zones, subsidized transit, and enhanced bicycle access.

Neighbourhood Renewal & Placemaking

We transform everyday streets and underutilized areas into people-friendly public spaces that are accessible, safe, and engaging. Our work includes developing "Complete Streets" that prioritize pedestrians and cyclists, and creating linear parks and community plazas that become local landmarks for social and cultural activities.

Policy, Zoning & Strategic Planning

We provide high-level advisory services to shape the future of cities by working directly with municipal authorities on policy, zoning, and strategic plans. Our expertise is demonstrated in projects like the Edmonton District Plans and the customized Land Use Bylaw for Sundance Beach, where we translate complex data into actionable urban policy frameworks.

Thought Leadership & Academic Engagement

We are committed to advancing the field of urban planning by actively sharing our knowledge and expertise. Our principals and founders are frequent speakers at industry conferences and guest lecturers at architecture colleges, contributing to policy-making discussions and mentoring the next generation of industry leaders.

Our Vision & Guiding Principles

Our work is guided by a clear and purpose-driven philosophy. We are committed to designing for society, community, and the environment through a practical approach to sustainability, creating socially inclusive communities, and delivering economic benefits for all.

The GSA Team: Collaboration & Culture

Our strength lies in our team and our collaborative culture. From hands-on site visits to dynamic office brainstorming sessions, we work as one cohesive unit to translate project visions into reality, ensuring every design reflects our commitment to purpose, place, and people.
