CPEX is passionate about addressing climate change, inequities, and public health through planning. We work across Louisiana empowering communities to realize:

Great neighborhoods and quality places

CPEX partners with organizations, neighborhoods, and local governments to create spaces that are safe, beautiful, affordable, and easy to get around. In planning for campus or commercial sites, residential areas, cultural districts, and targeted regions around our state, CPEX engages with clients and partners to sustain great places and realize new ones.

We know that neighborhoods are the smallest building block of a city and its design has implications for residents’ ability to be physically active, have access to grocery stores and other basic needs, depend less on the car, and feel safe and connected within their community.

transportation choices

CPEX provides policy and advocacy solutions to support safe, efficient transportation systems that serve all travelers and create more choices for getting to work, home, and in between. 

We know that transportation can have implications on an individual's health and quality of life, as well as our state's environmental outlook and economic competitiveness. CPEX convenes partners, supports coalitions, and produces resources to ensure sustainable transportation options for all Louisiana's residents.

resilient communities

CPEX provides practical and flexible approaches to helping communities improve their resilience by setting priorities and allocating resources to manage risks for their prevailing hazards.

Understanding the long-term impacts of climate change, CPEX offers community best practice tools for dealing with inland and coastal land loss, hazard mitigation and protection of natural resources, plans for preserving water resources, and nonstructural strategies for property owners to reduce economic damages from flooding.
