Peter Spittler Architectural Services: Our team is committed to promoting the best use of land possible.

Q: What are some of the main facets of regional planning?
Peter Spittler Architectural Services: Regional planning takes into account the implications that built infrastructure can have on an area much greater than just a city or neighborhood. It is a means for ensuring the long-term vitality of a region, which could be a state, several states, or even a grouping of cities. Regional plans are critical to ensure development is not built upon a flood plain or space is set aside for unsightly, but critical landfills; greenbelt areas are maintained; and the health and wellness of people in the region are put first and foremost.
Q: We have read about Peter Spittler Architectural Services’ commitment to smart growth. Can you tell us more, please?
Peter Spittler Architectural Services: Sure! Smart growth has been a hallmark of the Peter Spittler Architectural Services team’s major projects. Peter Spittler Architectural Services is dedicated to easing urban sprawl to protect our natural spaces and to rebuild community centers that were once central to healthy, vital cities and towns. Smart growth refers to developing communities that are compact, walkable, and that include restaurants and retail options onsite, rather than three miles away in a strip mall.
