Our Approach

Our Team

MRC McLean Hazel (MRCMH) is part of the Canadian MMM Group, which is a global project management and delivery company with over 1600 employees worldwide. Although MRCMH is a small company, our consultants and researchers have a wide range of international expertise. Our team includes transport planners, engineers, economists, land use planners, and specialists in urbanism, technology, regeneration, business and the environment. We can also call on experts from our parent company and work collaboratively with partners from around the world.

We ensure that our proposals and solutions are fully integrated with stakeholder needs and policy priorities and are therefore fully comprehensive. We do not divide our work into separate professional areas - we work together to get the best from each person and each discipline and escape the traditional professional straightjackets that can hinder creativity. Clients value our thoughtful and informed insights and advice particularly on difficult and emerging problems. We encourage innovative thinking, via active research, to complement our detailed knowledge of economic, environmental and social impacts, transport planning and urban development. We recognise the growing importance of environmental issues for cities, regions and communities. We can help to identify what to do and how to do it.
