About Us
Dyett & Bhatia (D&B) is a leading California urban planning consulting firm, incorporated in 1975. We have extensive experience in general plans; specific and area plans and urban design, including station area plans, downtown plans, and corridor and neighborhood plans; zoning; environmental review; and community engagement. In recent years we have prepared environmental justice and climate change and action plans for some of the largest California cities. Our current projects are located in all parts of California and in several other western US states.
​
We believe that plan-making is a collaborative effort, involving a diversity of stakeholders, and we are committed to active community engagement, and considerations of social and environmental equity in planning processes. Our work continues to evolve in response to changing concerns of urbanism; however, our underlying commitment to creativity, excellence, and shaping livable and sustainable places remains unwavering.
​
D&B has won 13 awards in the last five years alone from the American Planning Association (APA), as well as two national awards from the APA in the last ten years, including for one of California's first Public Health elements.
