Austin-Smith:Lord is an industry leader in effective and meaningful community engagement and consultation.  We have been at the forefront of the delivery of a comprehensive programme of charrettes across Scotland since 2011, collaborating with local residents, business and other stakeholders to develop masterplanning and town centre strategies which work for everyone.

Listening and talking to communities to better understand their needs, concerns and aspirations and helping them to articulate a vision and development strategy for their neighbourhoods is a richly rewarding process. Using this approach our goal is to help stimulate engagement in a process which can provide the basis for future investment and provide long-term sustainable, social and economic benefits.
