Places & communities

Shaping thriving, sustainable and inclusive places.

Busy city

The places where we live, work, learn, and connect are central to economic prosperity, social well-being, and environmental sustainability. As cities, towns, and rural communities evolve, the challenge is to balance growth with resilience, equity, and innovation—creating places that are liveable, accessible, and future-ready. 

At Steer, we work with governments, developers, investors, and communities to shape places that deliver long-term value. From housing and commercial real estate to transport, cultural events and infrastructure, and economic regeneration, we integrate strategic planning, data-driven insights, delivery experience, and policy expertise to create dynamic, people-focused places that thrive. 

Why Steer? 

We deliver data-driven solutions that optimise investment, drive growth, and balance sustainability with commercial success. Our collaborative approach ensures inclusive decision-making and local impact, while our global expertise helps clients navigate complexity, attract investment, and create thriving, resilient communities fit for the future.
