CITIES & URBAN SPACES
Shape Place. Impact Lives. Share the Story.
MKSK brings urban designers, landscape architects and city planners together to offer creative, economic and sustainable solutions for urban communities. MKSK offers multidisciplinary professional services through five offices located in Midwestern metropolitan centers. Our mission is to Shape Place, Impact Lives, and Share the Story: crafting public spaces and planning communities in such a way that stimulates civic life, inspires community pride and enriches our relationship with the environment. It means taking a holistic approach to ensure that community improvements have staying power and serve a broad spectrum of city life. And it means measuring the results of our projects - how they perform and their impact on users and society - so that we can share the outcomes and engage others in the discussion. It’s why we joined the profession, why we have the passion for what we do, and why we seek out bold and creative solutions for the communities in which we are privileged to work.
