Masterplanning
The practices, people, projects and roles behind UK masterplanning, in one place. Who is hiring, and how to move within it.
Knowledge
Working in masterplanning.
Masterplanning is architecture at the scale of places rather than buildings: area frameworks, large mixed-use sites and phased regeneration that sets the rules other architects later design within.
The work is strategic and collaborative. It involves planning policy, infrastructure, landscape and a great deal of consultation with communities and stakeholders, often over many years.
This hub gathers the live picture for masterplanning: who is hiring, which practices are growing, and the conversations shaping the sector right now.
- It is long-horizon work
Masterplans run for years, sometimes decades, so teams value people who can hold a long view.
- It is consultation-heavy
Public consultation and stakeholder work are core to the job, not an add-on.
- It opens strategic roles
Strategic thinking here leads into urban design, planning and development roles.
