Mr. Todd Meyer

Todd is a principal urban designer and landscape architect who has focused his career on community development, creative placemaking and implementation strategies for public and private sector clients across the U.S. and globally. His portfolio of award-winning projects includes master plans for new and existing communities, development standards and design guidelines, as well as detailed design for a wide range of project types. He has a warm and outgoing personality that has helped him to be successful when facilitating public outreach efforts and stakeholder engagement meetings. Meyer subscribes to the principles of the Charter of the New Urbanism, which seeks to curb suburban sprawl, protect our wild and natural open spaces, while promoting authentic urban neighborhoods that provide an interesting mix of uses, densities and price points. This approach helps to promote a strong sense of identity and community for both residents and visitors. He believes that as a society, we should protect and enhance the unique qualities of our open spaces and urban environments, and that not all places should look the same—or function in the same manner. His approach to planning is to be rooted in the unique context and characteristics of the place as much as possible. As a daily part of his work with clients and project teams, he is committed to creating beautiful, functional, and high-quality environments for people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy. That objective in part addresses physical infrastructure, but also considers the natural systems that shape urban areas, using appropriate materials and making the right choices for the environment. He also seeks to stimulate cities, neighborhoods, and districts to be active and energetic by protecting sensitive ecological areas, promoting economic investment, enhancing unique cultural expression and advancing physical and emotional wellness. As a highly-active individual, Todd enjoys swimming, biking, running, hiking and CrossFit. Since eating a healthy diet and staying in shape is a priority, another of Todd's professional interests is to promote healthy communities that provide equitable access to recreation, exercise, nutrition, and entertainment venues. He also actively promotes the concept of "cultural urbanism" in his projects, working to celebrate our regional differences and to create unique places that celebrate our natural environments and encourage social interaction.
