Ekistics Planning and Design is a fresh new yet experienced Adelaide based firm offering professional services in urban and regional planning and design.

The term Ekistics was first coined by the renowned planner Doxiadis (1903-75) and applies to the science of human settlements drawing on the research and experience of diverse disciplines including urban, regional, city and community planning and architecture as well as behavioural science including human psychology, anthropology, culture and politics. The term was derived from an ancient Greek noun meaning ‘the person who installs settlers in place’ – which captures the very essence of what we do at Ekistics.

The Ekistics team has many years of planning and design experience throughout Australia and internationally.
We service private, government and not-for-profit sectors with a particular focus on:

• Strategic Planning;
• Statutory Planning;
