VERDUNITY (pronounced vur-doo-ni-tee, like community) is not your traditional planning or engineering firm. We believe the way we have been building our places has fiscal, environmental and social consequences, and that our approach to how we build our communities and neighborhoods must change - immediately. We are committed to leading this change through the work we do and the lives we lead. Because of the work we do, individuals, families, city builders and communities will be better positioned to survive and thrive in the future. We are innovative pioneers, educators, and collaborators who just also happen to have backgrounds in professional planning, engineering, and development. We prioritize fiscal solvency and long-term sustainability over what may be easier or more financially lucrative in the near-term. We’re committed to helping community leaders break down silos, eliminate the excess, and begin implementing projects immediately with resources you already have on hand. Working together, we can preserve and enhance quality of life for current and future generations. We bring together planning, engineering, finance and placemaking perspectives to help community leaders: 1) Create a culture of collaboration - to improve transparency, communication and efficiency 2) Build resilient, human scale neighborhoods - that enhance quality of life for current and future generations 3) Grow community capital - to reduce dependency on outside resources and cultivate a self-sustaining local economy and workforce We measure success not by fancy projects and big design fees, but by the impact we're helping to make in communities across the country.
