SYSTRA development and infrastructure specialists help local authorities, architects, planning partners and private developers to optimise the potential of development sites, regenerate towns and city centres and deliver sustainable transport solutions. We support our clients on all design stages from concept to implementation.
Delivering optimal urban development and infrastructure plans
New urban developments on any scale, whether for residential, retail, commercial or leisure, must be designed to enable ease of access and movement to support economic growth, enhance health, well-being and quality of life in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. They must be designed to match the needs and behaviours of local people, commuters and visitors.
At SYSTRA, we understand the key challenges facing local authorities, developers and planners in the transformation of our urban centres. Our expertise helps clients to maximise development potential while ensuring sustainability is embedded at every stage of a project. We help to integrate developments into existing and future urban fabric and devise viable transport solutions suitable for the scale and scope of each development.
SYSTRA has dedicated teams providing multi-disciplinary expertise to support urban development and infrastructure planning and delivery throughout Ireland.
Our development and infrastructure teams work with architects, developers and urban planners to create masterplans for new developments or to regenerate existing areas. We work with local authorities and other agencies to help deliver developments that support their growth plans and sustainability goals. This includes developing viable transport solutions, encompassing all modes of transport and active travel opportunities.
Our emphasis in transport planning and infrastructure design is on improving accessibility, safety and integration – to encourage a shift away from the private car. Working closely with designers and spatial planners, we develop transport solutions using a holistic approach that considers area-wide transport requirements.

We guide our clients through the development process from inception and planning to the implementation stages. Our development planners have a thorough knowledge of the planning process, its pitfalls and opportunities – and have an excellent track record of gaining approvals and consents. Our Infrastructure designers are well versed in addressing Legislative and Health and Safety (CDM) requirements and all post planning approvals and processes to get developments on site. Our work for public and private sector clients includes the development of movement masterplans, public transport integration masterplans, public realm strategies and street designs. These could incorporate parking designs, active travel plans and safe routes to school.
We understand the need to engage constructively with a diverse range of stakeholders in any development programme. We also understand how to integrate new developments within the existing urban fabric, and to carefully balance competing needs for space and services. Our solutions and advice are always based on evidence from our own rigorous research, consultation and analysis.
Our thorough approach and our multi-disciplinary expertise enable us to develop truly innovative and progressive solutions for all types of urban development, redevelopment and infrastructure project.
