These complex projects have required resolution of transportation planning, urban design, staging analysis, pedestrian circulation and the client's objectives for attractive accommodation development. In addition to projects in North America, Emily has also collaborated on mountain resort planning projects in Japan, China, France, Switzerland, Italy, Norway, Serbia, Spain, Andorra, Russia and Georgia. These projects vary from large scale base area feasibility analyses to small single site redevelopment plans.
