Our Expertise
At Sustainya Planning, we don’t just design plans, we shape futures. We work across geographies, institutions, and communities to address today’s most urgent challenges with context-sensitive, equity-driven, and sustainability-focused solutions. Our services are grouped into seven core areas that reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the built and natural environment.
Urban Planning & Policy
Planning is both technical and deeply human. From rezoning a rural township to crafting an urban development plan, our approach combines evidence, ethics, and empathy.
