Places. Connections. Impact

Storrow Kinsella/advisory (SK/a) advises public and nonprofit leaders on the planning, alignment, and implementation of transformative civic investments, connecting parks, streets, infrastructure, urban design, and development into lasting community value.

What We Do

We focus on the work between projects, where coordination across institutions, partners, and investments is critical to success.

Our approach is rooted in Urban Villages: connected neighborhoods that share resources, relationships, and purpose while maintaining a strong sense of place. By understanding the physical, social, and civic systems that shape communities, we help leaders strengthen connections, build community, and create lasting impact.

Core Areas of Practice

Planning and structuring large‑scale public‑realm systems, including greenways, pedestrian and multimodal networks, scenic byways, and park and boulevard systems.

Corridor and District Strategies
Guiding the evolution of key corridors, districts, and entry sequences to strengthen identity, access, and connectivity.

Parks, Campus, and Neighborhood Planning
Developing comprehensive plans that integrate land use, public space, and infrastructure to support long‑term community goals.

Civic Infrastructure + Public Space Design
Design direction for parks, streetscapes, landscapes, and public‑art integration that shape the experience of place.

Historic and Cultural Systems
Preservation planning, National Register and Landmark nominations, and strategies that connect heritage to contemporary public life.

Implementation + Funding Strategy
Aligning projects with governance structures, phasing, and funding opportunities—including grant strategy and support.
