CAPABILITY CARD · Science & Research

The Urban and Regional Planners capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 44,230 urban and regional planners in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

Tools that signal you're current

Listing the software and platforms you work with is a quiet credibility signal buyers notice. These are the hot and in-demand technologies O*NET associates with urban and regional planners (★ = flagged hot technology). Your card shows the ones that fit your shop.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

A client or contracting officer scanning ten urban and regional planners wants fast proof you actually do the work. These are the core duties O*NET ties to your field — your capability card turns them into scannable proof points instead of a wall of text.

Duty 01
Design, promote, or administer government plans or policies affecting land use, zoning, public utilities, community facilities, housing, or transportation.
Duty 02
Advise planning officials on project feasibility, cost-effectiveness, regulatory conformance, or possible alternatives.
Duty 03
Create, prepare, or requisition graphic or narrative reports on land use data, including land area maps overlaid with geographic variables, such as population density.
Duty 04
Hold public meetings with government officials, social scientists, lawyers, developers, the public, or special interest groups to formulate, develop, or address issues regarding land use or community plans.
Duty 05
Mediate community disputes or assist in developing alternative plans or recommendations for programs or projects.
Duty 06
Recommend approval, denial, or conditional approval of proposals.
Your expertise, named

Where you stand

A real market — compete on proof, not price.

Nationally, 44,230 urban and regional planners earn a median of $89,320 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Federal agencies obligated $43.1B in Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences (except Nanotechnology and Biotechnology) contracts in FY2024 (USAspending.gov). When a contracting officer or prime sizes up a small business, a living capability card — cert status, NAICS coverage, SAM registration, core offerings, all current — is exactly what they expect to see. We build yours to land in that lane.
