Bousfields Inc.
Bousfields Inc. is one of the pre-eminent community planning firms in Ontario with special expertise in urban design, planning policy, community design, development approvals, community consultation and project management. Bousfields offers a full range of land use planning and urban design services to the development industry, municipalities and government agencies. The firm remains small enough to ensure that each project is managed directly by one of the senior practitioners in the firm. In addition, as land use planning and urban design specialists, the firm is frequently a prominent team player within multi-disciplinary consortiums of firms having complementary skills. We quite often act as the prime facilitator or project manager coordinating the overall project design and working with a number of different landowners and municipal staff. The partners and associates often represent the interests of public and private sector clients through expert testimony at the Ontario Municipal Board and other tribunals. The firm’s reputation and integrity has contributed to a very high success rate in achieving approvals, while addressing the public policy framework and the public interest.
