OMAHA, NE — HDR, headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, is expanding its multidisciplinary team of urban and regional planners by acquiring Calthorpe Associates, based in Berkeley, California. Going forward, the firm will do business as HDR

Calthorpe.

Calthorpe Associates is internationally recognized for leadership in regional planning, urban design and transit-oriented development. Since 1983, the company has assisted public- and private-sector clients in shaping livable communities. The firm is an international leader in smart growth and a founding partner in the Congress for the New Urbanism. The combined relationship with HDR will benefit communities with urban growth in livable, sustainable and low-carbon solutions.

“We believe our urban design practice can be a bridge between many of the HDR disciplines and a catalyst for integration,” said Peter Calthorpe, Founder and Principal at Calthorpe Associates. “Our focus on smart, sustainable cities over the decades has always depended on input and guidance between many design professionals.”

Calthorpe will join HDR as a Senior Vice President. He is a pioneer of innovative approaches to urban revitalization, community planning and regional design. He was awarded the Urban Land Institute’s J.C. Nichols Prize for Visionaries in Urban Development and is one of the founders and first Board President of the Congress for the New Urbanism.

“When we started thinking about how Calthorpe Associates would move forward into the future, we developed a set of critical issues,” said Joseph Scanga, Partner and Urban Designer at Calthorpe Associates. “HDR provided it all.”

Scanga will join HDR as a Vice President. He has two decades of experience at Calthorpe Associates and has managed projects in countries worldwide. Scanga holds a Master of Architecture degree from the University of California, Berkeley and studied in Italy with the International Laboratory of Architecture & Urban Design program.
