Urban Development

As a Decision Making Process

The development of a place extends beyond a single site. Uses, routes, open spaces and existing structures need to work together. We reveal a site's possibilities and develop a clear direction that can support informed decisions.

Understand the place

We examine existing conditions, uses, accessibility, open space and the planning framework. Municipalities and clients gain a clearer view of the site's potential and the questions that need resolving first.

Compare possible directions

Urban design options show different futures for a neighbourhood or site. We make their spatial, functional and economic implications understandable, giving decision-makers a sound basis for the next step.

Prepare for development

A direction can become an urban concept, a framework plan and a sequence of planning steps. Depending on the commission, we support statutory planning under the German Building Code (BauGB) and coordination with authorities and stakeholders.

From our urban research

The Lutherstadt Wittenberg study shows how we read a place and make spatial change understandable.
