as Director of Urban Design at Daniel Arbour and Associates, an urban planning office where fifty urban design master plans were carried out, including large-scale residential on green-field sites, structure plans for the redevelopment of brown-field sites, high-density mixed-use urban infill, and a master plan for structuring public and private sectors for a new town. Projects Penn's Landing Square, Society Hill, Philadelphia, which takes up an entire block and includes 118 homes. Eight constructed residential and commercial developments in Society Hill Historic District, Philadelphia.

Waterfront Redevelopment Plan for Baltimore's Fells Point Historic District and the design of its Main Square facing the Inner Harbour. Bois-Franc, a new 8000-dwelling community on 202 hectares in the Saint-Laurent Borough of Montreal, Quebec. Newmarket, a speciality retail centre and noteworthy contribution to Edmund Bacon's transformation of the Philadelphia Society Hill landscape.

A towering snorkel ... like a shower massage on steroids. Career Academia Sauer was appointed Professor and Head of the Department of Architecture at Carnegie-Mellon University (1979–85).
