## Portfolio categories

- [Cities & Spatial Strategy](https://pzgl.co.ke/projects/category/cities-spatial-strategy/): We turn land, policy, infrastructure and local context into spatial frameworks that clients can use to compare options, set priorities and guide phased development.
- [Infrastructure & Urban Mobility](https://pzgl.co.ke/projects/category/infrastructure-urban-mobility/): We connect corridor planning, street design, access, drainage and regional infrastructure so movement decisions respond to both place and delivery constraints.

- [Climate Resilience & Environmental Planning](https://pzgl.co.ke/projects/category/climate-resilience-environmental-planning/): We identify water, ecology, heat and landscape risks early, then build practical safeguards and nature-positive responses into the development strategy.
- [Development & Investment Strategy](https://pzgl.co.ke/projects/category/development-investment-strategy/): We align land use, infrastructure, commercial logic and phasing into a credible development narrative for decision-makers, investors and delivery partners.
