Urban Planning

Turning Plans Into Possibility

At Build Baton Rouge, urban planning isn’t just about maps and zoning—it’s about people. We work alongside neighborhood residents, local agencies, and technical experts to develop and implement equitable, community-driven plans that reflect the needs, culture, and aspirations of Baton Rouge’s most historically disinvested neighborhoods.

From citywide strategies to corridor-specific master plans, we bring a blend of technical support, land use expertise, and deep community engagement to every planning effort. Whether we're leading a process—like the Imagine Plank Road Plan—or supporting others, we ensure that planning isn’t just about what gets built, but how it builds opportunity for everyone.
