Environmental Studies
A comprehensive approach to planning requires the collective insight and expertise of land use, transportation, and environmental planners; scientists; landscape architects; cultural resource specialists; archaeologists; engineers; and construction managers. Working together, KCI professionals create innovative solutions for challenging projects, from large-scale transportation studies to feasibility studies for small recreation facilities. KCI planning teams guide projects through preservation and compliance procedures, helping public and private clients coordinate archaeological, architectural, and historic studies with other environmental, engineering, and socioeconomic issues. When projects require public involvement, KCI serves as a liaison among concerned parties, facilitating an atmosphere of coordination and cooperation.
