Hammersmith's City Consulting Group is focused on revitalizing neighborhood and central business districts. Our goal is to assist local government, community leaders, and the private sector in finding the best approach to unlocking the intrinsic value and economic potential of a particular area.

Our services include strategic planning; program analysis; real estate acquisition, disposition, and development recommendations; and strategies for attracting, retaining and expanding businesses. Our approach leverages an area's existing assets — architecture and history — in order to create a distinct sense of place and enhance an identity that is grounded in an area's heritage. We encourage you to explore "Rebranding Urban Neighborhoods" by our company's founder.

A typical charrette consists of Hammersmith principals and consultants visiting the community for between two days to a week. The panels provide immediate feedback and recommendations which are later set forth in a detailed report.
