Planning Scorecards that Go Beyond

We develop scorecards for green space plans and other types of urban planning to track these indicators. A key reason we value scorecards is the need for more granular data to inform decision-making than can be achieved with existing tools. The scorecards provide stakeholders with a common language and a clear set of priorities, and are also useful in helping to secure funding.
