Accomplished Leadership

LBA helps cities and communities become more livable, equitable, sustainable, and resilient through holistic planning and strategic advice. Principal Larissa Brown has prepared more than 20 comprehensive plans for communities across the U.S., as well as plans for mixed-use districts, neighborhoods, housing, open space systems, and climate change resilience. Inherently interdisciplinary, her work integrates land use and urban design with resilience and sustainability, market analysis and economic development, housing, transportation, and infrastructure. She has worked at a range of scales—region, city, and town—and in urban, suburban, and semi-rural contexts. Her plans get implemented because they’re simultaneously aspirational, practical, and based on robust community engagement and consensus-building. LBA provides a tailored team of highly qualified technical partners for each project.
