Urban space

Challenges urban space

We are faced with complex challenges in our cities in regions: a growing and aging population, smaller households and new generations with different needs are competing for scarce space. While considering these needs, issues such as climate change, energy transition, mobility, activity, recreation and biodiversity must also be taken into account. To support decision makers in making the right decisions, it is necessary to look at the entire spatial puzzle. Data, insight, innovations and solutions at varying scales (neighbourhoods, districts, cities, regions).

How can we ensure accessibility for all within our neighbourhoods? How can we ensure that our development decisions create more liveable environments for all? How can spatial decisions related to area development be accelerated?
