About Zack Urban Solutions

Zack Urban Solutions uses a pragmatic approach to create cities that are beloved yet functional, exciting yet convenient, and prosperous yet equitable. We can help you create a vision that is bold and innovative and which can actually be implemented. Zack Urban Solutions has over two decades of experience in local government and public policy. We know what it takes to create plans that won’t look beautiful and then just sit on a shelf; we create programs that are actionable and that work. Dan Zack, the founder, president, and principal planner of Zack Urban Solutions, has worked in local government for 23 years and dealt with a wide range of projects in that time. He has worked on transportation plans, housing plans, citywide general plans, historic preservation plans, downtown revitalization plans, streetscape designs, and parking management plans. He has written hundreds of pages of adopted zoning codes and has rezoned well over 100,000 parcels of land. He has processed and overseen the planning entitlements of numerous development projects of every type, including thousands of units of housing. Finally, he knows how to work with the community, get their feedback, and rally them around a vision. ZUS operates on the guiding principle that well-designed cities can improve our lives in dramatic ways. Good city planning can make it easy to drive shorter distances or make some trips on foot or by bike, reducing local air pollution and and traffic injuries; it can make cities more economically robust; it can enable a stronger sense of community; and it can enable cities to grow while consuming less farmland and wildlife habitat. Whether they are developing a single building or planning for the future of an entire neighborhood, ZUS will help our clients create vibrant, sustainable, and equitable communities.
