Resilient planning is about preparing for the future.
It means proactively thinking about impacts on where and how we live, work, and play.
Join VHB at the 2025 Florida Planning Conference to learn how our integrated teams of planners, engineers, and scientists team with public and private partners across Florida to create innovative, safe, and resilient communities.
From smart community planning and vision zero safety plans, to land development that elevates attainable housing, and healthcare campuses that adapt for a renewable energy transformation—VHB is preparing Florida for a more sustainable future. Our approach to planning utilizes data and technology to focus on the big picture, recognizes the importance of Florida’s coastal communities, anticipates challenges and needs before they arise, and helps to implement sustainable strategies for resilience.
Congratulations to Metro Plan Orlando for receiving a Best Practices Award of Excellence from APA Florida for the Vision Zero Central Florida Initiative!
