OUR WORLD
The next-generation town planners, helping build better places through outcome orientated approaches, people-first thinking and technical precision.
At in urbe, we’re proud to be part of the next generation of town planners in Victoria, curious, collaborative, and deeply committed to a practical, contemporary approach. We’re people people. Whether working with clients, colleagues, contractors, or new friends, we believe that planning is built on trust, respect, and real human connection.
Beyond the layers of legislation, policy and planning schemes, we see a practice that’s ultimately about improving the places we live, work and play in. Planning, at its best, should be grounded in enjoyment, fairness, and sustainability. We bring this belief into everything we do, navigating complex statutory systems with technical confidence, while never losing sight of the bigger picture: creating better, more liveable places for everyone.
OUR WORK
At our core, we believe that true success is measured by outcomes. Delivering quality results is not just a product of our deep technical expertise and years of hands-on experience, but equally of our practical, common-sense approach and a strong commitment to collaboration. We are proud to have worked across a diverse range of project types and scales throughout Victoria, from small infill developments to large-scale precinct plans.
Our team has been fortunate to cut our teeth alongside some of Victoria’s most accomplished and respected Town Planners, gaining invaluable insights and honing our craft along the way. Every project, every challenge, has helped shape who we are today.
We continue to apply and build on these learnings with each new opportunity, ensuring that our work remains not only efficient and accurate, but consistently thoughtful, forward-looking, and tailored to the unique needs of each client and community.
