Urban Strategy & Project

From regulatory to operational urbanism, a multi scale approach to develop sustainable urban projects

An urban project can be sustainable only if it is a shared objective between the different stakeholders and mainly the inhabitants. With a transversale and multi scale approach, we can deal with the different components of the urbanism as regulation, urban strategy , urban planning, urban program or urban development coorporation to design, finance, develop and implement a sustainable urban project.  

In a couple of years we have accumulated a significant expertise and worked on chalenging projects in France and abroad.  You will find here under some key project references.
