Arup's considerable experience in designing, realising and evaluating development and infrastructure worldwide means that we know first-hand how economics influences the success of a project and the community it serves.

We help clients understand the economic potential or impact of proposals as well as the relevant policy, and to frame their strategies in response to both. We work closely with our in-house technical and financial experts to deliver comprehensive solutions and area plans across the built environment.

We work throughout the regeneration sphere, with the private sector, governments and their agencies, and voluntary and community organisations to advise on strategic decisions that have implications for local, regional and national economic growth.

Teams available within Economic Planning include

Cities are the places which address global issues, provide the innovations of the future and fuel the global economy. Arup is at the forefront of thinking on many of the issues that will shape cities' development. 

As part of Arup's Cities, Planning and Design portfolio, the Economic Planning team provides strategy, planning, and economic consulting services to a range of high-profile clients.
