HR&A designs and implements innovative public engagement campaigns for government.

HR&A Advisors Inc. is an employee-owned advisory firm of urbanists who care deeply about America’s cities, and who have helped to strengthen them for the last 40 years. We are known for the rigor of our analysis, our deep relationships with government leaders, our knowledge of local economics and economic development actors, and our ability to get things done.

We focus on leveraging community engagement to translate the ideas of communities and their advocates into meaningful policy and systems change within government. We launch programs that advance social and economic justice and inform policy. We work with advocates so that they can be the most effective at using the levers available to them to distribute the benefits of growth. We help our clients to think about who will benefit from economic development from the very beginning, and show them how to make more equitable projects, neighborhoods, and cities. We are a bridge between intentions and implementation.
