LEADERSHIP
Rajeev Bhatia, AICP
Partner and President
Rajeev Bhatia is a planner and urban designer, and has led over 70 major general plans, specific plans, and downtown, corridor, and station area plans for cities throughout the western United States. He has led 35 general plans and participated in 20 others, as well as prepared EIRs on most of these. Urban design projects he has led have shaped some of California's most vital and transformed districts, such as the 1,500-acre Downtown San Diego, guiding its evolution into California's most populous and integrated live/work downtown; Capitol Area Plan in Sacramento for the State of California that has shaped the largest State office development in California's history and opened a new eastern vista to the State Capitol Building; new communities around transit stations (10 station area specific plans in the Bay Area, transit-oriented planning for new Honolulu rail system, Seattle's new light rail); and campus plans (such as for Genentech - one of the largest in the Bay Area). He has led several community plans for San Diego, including recently the transformative plan for Mission Valley that will add 50,000 new residents and re-shape a 1960s style car-oriented commercial community into walkable, transit-connected, river-oriented neighborhoods. 
He holds a Master of City Planning and Master of Landscape Architecture, both from U.C. Berkeley, where he was a Regents Fellow. Projects directly led by Mr. Bhatia have won 30+ awards from the American Planning Association, as well as additional ones from organizations such as Congress for New Urbanism and Urban Land Institute.
