About
Raimi + Associates is a Berkeley, CA based urban planning company founded in 2006 by Matt Raimi. We call our approach to planning “The Nature of Community.” Our goal is to balance the needs of the natural environment with the needs of residents and businesses, and develop long-range plans and policy documents that advance environmental, economic and social sustainability. We believe that beautiful communities, a healthy environment, a strong economy, and an active and healthy citizenry are the cornerstones of great planning; we strive to enhance each of these in every project we complete.
Raimi + Associates’ work focuses on a number of topic areas and a variety of scales, from regions and cities down to streets, buildings, and blocks. The following is a list of our primary service areas:
General Plans and Comprehensive Planning
Specific Plans and Area Plans
Public Health and the Built Environment
Sustainability Planning and Smart Growth, including LEED-ND Implementation
Land Use and Transportation Planning Related to Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Contract Planning
We are a small firm and, while we work on large-scale planning projects, we provide focused, individualized attention to each client. We pride ourselves on establishing strong working relationships with clients, maintaining our ideals of great communities, and, most of all, having fun with our work.
