PROJECTS
Dream it.
Working for municipal clients and public entities we have planned cities and towns across the United States and all over the world. Jason King and King Design Collaborative (KDC) has had the great privilege of working with over 200 municipalities. Plan El Paso (2012) began a 15+ year relationship with El Paso, Texas and we continue to advise on development regulations, parks, transit, infrastructure, and climate.
Build it.
Working with developer clients we have co-designed new neighborhoods and whole communities that are walkable, green, and mixed-use. Wheeler District in Oklahoma City is a growing new community that has involved many committed people working hard, but the design began with a conversation and a sketch Jason made for Humphreys Company in 2014 and the conversation and sketching continues today.
Sample Municipal Plans

Downtown Master Plan and Park Planning for Missoula, MT (2019)
In 2019 the Missoula Downtown Association, a business association working closely with the local redevelopment agency and city, chose Jason’s team to lead the Downtown Plan process.

New Mexico State University Campus Plan (NMSU) and Aggie Uptown Mixed-Use District (2020)

The Plan for Edgartown, MA (2024)
The plan was created working closely with a citizen-led steering committee to establish a vision for Edgartown’s future. The master plan includes physical plans, diagrams, and illustrations which represent a community vision for Martha’s Vineyard first town. The plan has a focus on affordable housing, contending with sea level rise, and diversifying the local economy.

Vision Zero Planning in Savannah, GA (2023)
Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. The DCA team co-led the effort with Hall Planning & Engineering (HPE). Unique to Vision Zero was the team’s interactive public exercise which taught the public how to plan for cyclists and pedestrians.
