Urban and regional planning
Spatial planning, regional and urban development are our traditional areas of expertise. We develop tailor-made solutions for our clients by working in cooperation with local and regional actors. In addition, our approach builds on cross-sectoral thinking and takes into account the diversity of factors impacting on urban and rural development: settlement development and green belts, labour market and other economic drivers, housing and quality of life as well as transport and environmental issues.
