We believe that a planning consultant should measure its own success by the success of its clients and the quality of the communities that they create.

The Planning Authority LLC approaches its objectives by working together with the other stakeholders in the planning process. We bring our clients and experts together to work hand in hand in order to create the best possible solutions. These solutions are focused on creating success, and emphasize innovation and creativity.

In addition to our practice in the United States, in recent years we have developed an international practice, primarily in China. The logo of The Planning Authority LLC, is based on the Chinese character sen , which means a forest, and symbolizes our philosophy of planning:

• See the whole forest, not just one tree
• Respect the character of each place
• Planning is universal, communities are unique

The Planning Authority LLC is led by Sam Casella, FAICP, PP, who is a member of the American Institute of Certified Planners and a Professional Planner licensed in New Jersey.
