Urban Analytics + Scenario Planning
Where futures get road-tested.
Scenario planning, growth modeling, fiscal impact analysis, and policy evaluation that let communities understand the real consequences of their choices — before those choices are made.
Model future scenarios against the outcomes you care about — then build the plan that gets you there.
The growth decisions a community makes today shape its land use for decades. Scenario planning, fiscal modeling, and policy evaluation let a community see how each option performs against the outcomes it cares about — housing, revenue, emissions, equity — and quantify the trade-offs before anything is locked in. We translate that analysis into a plan calibrated to reach a preferred future shaped by community members.
Scenario Planning + Growth Modeling
Scenario land use and growth modeling using Gradient, policy testing using DevDNA, and building-level pro forma analysis using SiteWork — letting communities test alternative futures and measure trade-offs before committing to a direction.
Policy Evaluation
Fiscal impact analysis, policy modeling, and econometric evaluation that quantify what proposed policies will actually produce — in housing units, tax revenue, infrastructure costs, and equity outcomes.

Alex is an urban planner and economist who specializes in building pro forma and scenario modeling tools that jurisdictional planners use to test-drive land use and transit policies. He is leading the SJCOG 2026 Sustainable Communities Strategy — a 16-month scope producing a CARB-compliant SCS satisfying SB 375 — and serves as lead consultant on Bend’s five-phase Growth Plan. For Omaha’s Growth Scenario Planning project, he developed UrbanFootprint and CommunityViz scenarios and fiscal impact modeling that directly informed the city’s new Comprehensive Plan goals and future land use map.
