Early action enables smarter investment.  

  • You gain technical depth in planning and consulting.
  • You benefit from decades of experience and implementation skills.
  • Our concepts anticipate construction and operations.  
  • We co-create with collaborative workflows.
  • Teams scale to your needs and integrate partner support. 

Holistic Consulting for Urban Transformation and Infrastructure

We understand cities, neighborhoods, campuses, infrastructure, and buildings systematically. Industries, the public sector, and the real estate industry are shifting toward a new economy. Smart cities are developing. Meanwhile, climate, mobility, and energy transitions reshape demographics.

We know complex, intertwined systems require an interdisciplinary approach.
 

Our Approach is Multidimensional

Various factors influence our environment:

  • Energy

     

    How do we generate, transport, and store energy efficiently? How can we consume less by using efficient technologies? How do we ensure economic efficiency and stability? Where should energy plants be built? 

     

  • Water

     

    Heavy rainfall and drought force sustainable infrastructure and sponge city principles. How do we cut drinking water use, harvest rain, and protect against extremes? 

     

  • Climate

     

    How can we slow global warming? How is architecture part of the solution? How do we turn a carbon footprint into a “beneficial footprint”? 

     

  • Waste and Resources

     

    How do we use resources responsibly? How do we save space, use eco-friendly materials, and close cycles with Cradle to Cradle®? 

     

  • Mobility

     

    How do we seamlessly connect different modes of transport? Where do we build infrastructure for electric and hydrogen mobility? 

     

  • Urban Structures and Real Estate

     

    Which criteria shape city planning? How do we transform existing buildings? What future challenges lie ahead – from green facades to solar roofs? 

     

  • Biodiversity

     

    How do we balance people and nature? How do we bring biodiversity into cities? Do we need Edible Cities while bees decline? 

     

  • Digitization

     

    Neighborhoods, buildings, rooms, and even objects join the “Internet of Things,” creating new business models. How do we connect everyday items with large-scale structures?  

     

  • Finances

     

    Which funding is available? What do green bonds require? How do we ensure economic, realistic development? 

     

  • Society

     

    How will urban life change? Will drones replace malls? Will offices disappear, or will hybrid work shape the future?
