A. Nelessen Associates

A. Nelessen Associates (ANA) is an award winning visioning, planning, and design firm that believes in the development of high quality communities of place. We accomplish this through a small team of professionals, our trademarked community visioning process, innovative land planning and urban design, and the integration of pedestrian and transit systems with quality street and parking standards. ANA has wide-reaching experience in North America and Europe and serves a diverse body of clients ranging from private developers to municipal, state, and federal agencies.

As a pioneer in the field of public participation, ANA uses a proven community visioning process and the professional translation of this vision into plans and codes for the public and private sectors. Called Vision Planning, it is an innovative process that allows citizens, government officials, builders, and all other interested parties to participate in developing a common vision for a single parcel of land, a downtown, a city, or an entire county. ANA utilizes computer-based mapping and its trademarked Visual Preference SurveyTM, a unique tool that enables diverse groups to build a consensus vision for future growth and development.

The many Visual Preference SurveysTMconducted by ANA has led the firm to become an advocate for more sustainable transit oriented development and higher quality of life standards. Development plans bearing the firm's signature combine the timeless elements of traditional community life with essential elements of modern living in order to create communities of place.
