Thanks to our emphasis on context, regeneration and partnership, Lathams enjoys strong working relationships with local authorities, non-governmental organisations and other public bodies.

Whether working on an individual building, a neighbourhood or an entire region, our approach to regeneration and other public projects starts with an understanding of what is important and valuable about the existing location – both its built environment and its community. This delivers the strongest possible platform on which we can build plans towards genuine transformation.

Throughout the process, we never forget the importance of building and maintaining stakeholder confidence and support.

Our evidence-led approach helps explain how improvements can be delivered for the benefit of communities and funders alike. And we have developed a strong expertise in community involvement and consultation, commissioning research and using public events to ensure our proposals reflect not only the physical needs of a community, but also its spirit, its character and its aspirations for the future.

We support local authorities across the full range of their public responsibilities, including housing, education, regeneration and economic development, delivering services including masterplanning, architectural design, public consultation and urban design.
