the hok planning group
Responding to the growing need to fully understand the environmental, design, and economic implications of growth, expansion, redevelopment and construction, HOK has assembled a staff capable of undertaking the most demanding planning, urban design, and landscape architectural assignments. The HOK Planning Group has more than 50 years of diversified experience with more than 129 professionals in 16 of HOK’s 23 locations worldwide.

Our clients include developers, institutions, corporations, and government agencies. Projects have been successfully completed throughout the United States, Central America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia and the Far East. These projects have been directed toward the improvement of urban areas and the revitalization of our cities and towns, the development and growth of areas located on the urban fringes and beyond, and the conservation and rehabilitation of the world’s landscape.

The HOK Planning Group is committed to delivering the highest quality work, to recruiting and retaining the best and brightest people, to exceeding our clients’ expectations, “raising the bar” in our profession and to furthering the success of HOK.  

To The HOK Planning Group, the essence of planning is to provide a connection. Good planning creates an environment that enhances and relates to the world around it: to a region or community’s people, culture, social consciousness, image, aesthetics, economy and natural environment.  The HOK Planning Group takes our mission seriously.

PLANNING
Successful master plans connect people to their environments, physically and emotionally. We collaborate across disciplines and continents to create places that are authentic and integrated with their surroundings, ensuring their long-term economic growth and sustainability.

LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTURE
The art and science of landscape architecture blends wonderfully creative gestures with complex biological systems to establish a sense of place. We have participated in some of the world’s most complex projects proving our ability to coordinate teams that can deliver and construct as well as we conceive and create. Whether providing the site design for a single building or corporate campus, planning a park or an entire city, The HOK Planning Group is committed to creating quality environments with enduring value.

URBAN DESIGN
Successful urban communities are more than a response to the basic requirements of food, shelter and security. We focus on the spaces in between the buildings to harmonize architecture, infrastructure and open space. This creates urban experiences that support our social and physical needs.
