Our Story

Crane Associates was built on the belief that a strong economy and a healthy environment are mutually beneficial. We believe in the power of a sustainable economy and how it can improve public welfare, private wealth, and natural ecosystems. We work in the most dangerous places on earth, and in the most peaceful; in American communities and in cultures completely different to ours; in the busiest cities and smallest villages in the world. We do this because we want to make a positive difference in people’s lives and leave the planet in a better condition than how we found it.

Crane Associates started in 2002 and has grown into a network of environmental economists, urban planners, and sustainability specialists. This collaboration of highly specialized and like-minded consultants remain on call for specific tasks. We design and implement sustainable development based on sound research, active engagements, and building institutional capacity.  We custom build our project teams to precisely address our clients’ needs, ensuring that our clients only pay for the services they need.
