Philip Erickson
President
Philip Erickson is a planner, urban designer, and architect with extensive experience in community and urban design, land use and site planning, land use/transportation planning, architecture, and feasibility analysis. The scale of his work ranges from the region to the detail of specific site and street design. He has been responsible for the management of multidisciplinary teams providing services to both public and private clients, and has been project designer and manager for a variety of projects, including:
- regional transportation and land use projects;
- major new towns and master planned communities in the United States and Pacific Rim;
- transit-oriented, mixed-use neighborhoods, and transit station areas;
- Specific Plans and Area Plans;
- Public policy and program design for the implementation of smart growth and the New Urbanism; and,
- a variety of public space and building architecture.
Mr. Erickson’s successful completion of these projects results from his commitment to working with the client to critically analyze their needs and identify creative solutions and designs to satisfy these needs. His approach balances a stakeholder consensus-building process with design and technical analysis. His broad experience in design, implementation, transportation planning, market economics, and management allow him to effectively work with and focus the efforts of multidisciplinary teams. Mr. Erickson lectures throughout the country regarding land use and transportation issues and was the lead urban design contributor to the recently published ITE Proposed Recommended Practice – Context Sensitive Solutions in Designing Major Urban Thoroughfares for Walkable Communities.
