Planning & Strategy

We collaborate with our clients from the inception of a development idea to the acquisition of stakeholder approvals, financing, and delivery. This is accomplished by utilizing a diverse resource pool that includes market and technical skills, property financing expertise, policy insight, innovation, and a thorough grasp of the planning and development process.

Our objective in providing a varied variety of services is to guarantee that our clients' projects provide the best possible return on investment while also delivering high-quality developments.

The services we provide under Planning & Strategy can be summarized into the following:

  • The environmental and socio-economic structure of cities is continually changing, and rapid growth of population raises substantial concerns. At LDRS, we welcome the challenge that this poses to existing and emerging urban areas worldwide, and we are devoted to devising sustainable solutions that will benefit future generations. 

    Strategic Master Planning, in our opinion, is a crucial instrument for achieving long-term social, economic, and geographical growth. Our team has extensive experience in developing master plans for both expanding and new urban hubs. We create master plans that describe the holistic vision for urban developments, from zoning to community facilities while paying special attention to the economic and environmental components of our projects and communities. 

    We have worked with both the public & private sectors in the MENA region while using our integrated design approach, and cutting-edge technology tools such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), to collaborate with our clients on policy, design, and management solutions for their communities. 

  • Our Project Development Planning services supports property developers, landowners, investors, and policymakers in transforming financial, social, and economic goals into deliverable projects, plans and solutions. Our strategic planning is key to our societies’ growth. They translate into effective housing, employment, transport, infrastructure, and environmental plans.

    Our work has been applied in many scales of projects as we have prepared national, municipal, metropolitan, and community development plans, structure plans, and planning guidelines and policies. 

    We think of strategic development planning as bridging the gap between social, economic and physical development. At LDRS we lead our clients to plan and implement strategies that can effectively lead to social growth, economic development, sustainable planning, crucial restructuring, and investment success.
