At the community level, we support policies, partnerships, adaptation planning strategies, and land use solutions with innovative strategies to strengthen a community's economic, social, and environmental foundations. We support community resilience plans, adaptive risk management strategies, green infrastructure plans, policy updates, community partnerships, and strategic engagement planning. At the site-specific scale, Marstel-Day provides a range of master planning and site-specific solutions that support client programming while also serving, enhancing, and regenerating the functions of natural systems. Our efforts foster resiliency and provide ecosystem services including designs for natural and hybrid infrastructure, habitat restoration, living shorelines and coastal resilience, ecological designs, stream and riparian system restoration, and resilient landscapes. We support clients in site selection, project planning and certification for LEED or Sustainable SITES, and implementation of measures that conserve water and energy, reduce waste, and provide for healthy living.
Marstel-Day also performs scientific data-driven analyses that highlight the depth, function, value, and interconnectivity of built and natural systems to understand risks, identify gaps, and determine new and innovative opportunities. These efforts help to better understand the dynamics of a space, achieve higher buy-in from stakeholders, improved cost-effectiveness, and support holistic designs that are easy to implement, monitor, and manage.
