Colin Buchanan is a leading transport planning, planning, urban design and economics consultancy founded by Sir Colin Buchanan in 1964. The company remains true to its independent roots, offering impartial and objective advice and excellent design solutions to a wide variety of clients. We pride ourselves on the integrity and professionalism of our staff, who are key to the business, to provide a bespoke service to our broad spectrum of clients.

Colin Buchanan was very pleased to accept a joint special award for an outstanding work in design development for the redesign of Parliament Square, London W1. By proposing to remove the vehicle stream alongside St Margaret's in favour of pedestrians, re-imagines the present traffic island (currently a convenient police corral for demonstrators) as a contiguous, permanently accessible Capitolinus from which to regard the grandeur of Westminster Abbey, the new Supreme Court Chambers and the Palace of Westminster; a fitting heartground for all who contemplate British history and democracy.
