Area development

Aligning public, private, and individual interests

Area development is a special form of spatial planning. So special that it’s a separate field within our company. As a consultancy in area development, we specialise in spatial development, revitalisation, and transformation issues. In doing so, we align public, private, and individual interests.

Success is determined by the sum of quality and acceptance. Our challenge is to get complex spatial development tasks socially endorsed. This requires a tailor-made approach for each location, involving both procedural and substantive knowledge.

INTERMEDIARY ROLE

Our area-development advisors are well-versed with provinces and ministries and are closely involved in the development of new policies. The intermediary role – from the initial idea to the final phase of execution – fits us like a glove.

SUSTAINABLE AREA DEVELOPMENT

We can no longer see area development separately from sustainability. And the sustainability requirements and ambitions are growing. How do you bring together requirements and ambitions in functional area development? We integrate sustainability into area development using our 10 building blocks for sustainable area development.

URBAN, INDUSTRIAL, AND RURAL AREAS

Our experts work in urban areas, for example, on the transformation of old industrial sites, as well as in green spaces, such as on floodplain projects with combinations of river widening, nature development, mineral extraction, recreation, and living and working. We also develop new economic carriers for estates, among other things.
