Nature-based solutions
Our work focuses on the integration of natural processes and ecosystems to address challenges such as climate change, flooding, air quality and biodiversity loss. Through this, we provide environmental benefits and improve urban resilience, enhance the well-being of residents and promote sustainable development.
.
Assessment & Planning
Our work involves the identification of environmental challenges (eg flooding, soil erosion, biodiversity loss, urban heat islands) and delivery of ecological, economic and social impact assessments. We develop sustainable strategies tailored to specific landscapes and communities.
Design & Implementation
We work with the broader Alluvium Group to conceptualise and develop green infrastructure solutions (eg wetlands for flood control, urban forests for cooling, mangrove restoration for coastal protection). We work with governments, businesses and NGOs to integrate nature-based approaches into policies and projects and regularly use techniques like reforestation, agroforestry and ecosystem restoration.
Stakeholder Engagement & Policy Support
A significant portion of our nature-based work involves engaging with local communities to ensure our projects align with their needs. We regularly advise policymakers on integrating nature-based solutions into urban planning, climate adaptation and conservation policies.
Industry leadership
Our industry leaders are known for their deep expertise and knowledge in their field. They bring a thorough understanding of industry trends, technologies and best practices.

AI and machine learning
We work with our clients to deploy AI and machine learning to enhance decision-making through predictive analytics and improving data-driven insights.
Open space planning
We shape cities and regional communities for decades to come. Our work creates functional, sustainable, and aesthetically pleasing environments that promote community engagement, well-being, and ecological health.
Urban greening and cooling
We believe nature in cities plays a critical role in both community wellbeing and ecological health. We develop strategies and plans for open space, urban forests, greening and cooling.
Social science
We are leaders in environmental social science; we specialise in human-nature connections where we identify areas of social enquiry to inform environmental planning and evaluation.
Spatial and data science
We integrate and analyse big data sets, write algorithms, apply advanced GIS techniques, and develop dashboards and other visualisations to communicate complex science and ideas in beautiful, accessible ways.
