Urban research

Analysis, mapping and strategy

Understanding the city. Revealing development potential.

Maps, district profiles and time series reveal spatial relationships. The Lutherstadt Wittenberg study shows how these insights can inform questions and approaches to urban development.

Approach

From analysis to decisions

Urban research provides the foundation for evidence-based decisions in architecture, urban development, and transformation. It examines spatial structures, historical layers, social dynamics, patterns of use, development potential, and conflicts, translating these insights into clear maps, rigorous analyses, and strategic recommendations for action.

Our practice combines planning expertise with design precision, scientific analysis, and method-based spatial research. This includes approaches such as Space Syntax, which make spatial relationships, accessibility, movement patterns, and structural interdependencies within urban and building environments visible and comprehensible.

This results in studies that not only describe existing conditions but also reveal the development potential inherent in a place, providing a sound basis for urban development, project management, and architectural concepts.
