The Lakota Group is a team of professionals providing services in Planning, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture, and Community Relations.  The firm, located in Chicago, was established in 1993 to serve a wide range of public-sector and private-sector clients in urban, suburban, and rural settings.  Lakota is widely recognized for both small-scale and large-scale planning and design projects.

Since 1993, Lakota has completed more than 450 projects in 105 towns and cities involving about 32,000 acres of land, 31,000 units of housing and 52 million square feet of building space.  These projects involved numerous municipal officials, civic leaders, community residents, institutions, developers, landowners, businesses, and consultants.

The firm's approach to projects is reflected in its name, Lakota, which is a Native American word meaning allies.  Lakota's professionals share a strong respect for land, a sense of community, and a desire to bring people together to work as allies for positive change.  The Lakota Group is dedicated to improving America's land and communities through Planning, Urban Design, Landscape Architecture and Community Relations Services.
