Dodson & Flinker is a small landscape architecture and planning firm based in Florence, MA. We specialize in community engagement, planning, and landscape design and have experience with a wide variety of planning and landscape architecture projects.
Founded over forty years ago as Dodson Associates, the firm was instrumental in the creation of the smart growth movement. We continue to develop widely used methods for building community resilience, balancing conservation and development, and for planning and site design based on cultural landscapes, historic architectural patterns, and local ecology. This work has earned the firm national awards for projects ranging from regional planning to urban and suburban revitalization to sustainable site design.
Dodson & Flinker has designed and facilitated numerous public participation projects, often involving complex and controversial planning topics—and has become a trusted advisor to many New England cities and towns.
