Our competence centre encompasses specialists from the disciplines of business, geography, spatial planning and the sciences. Relying on a wealth of methodological and specialist experience, we combine economic and social issues with a spatial dimension: what is the impact of, for instance, digitalisation on the ways and places we work? How does individualisation change our needs as dwellers, and does it lead to a higher per capita consumption of floor space? Also, how does this affect a region’s development and competitiveness as a business location?
Today’s varied challenges call for new strategies and measures to help regions retain their appeal for businesses, workers and population alike. We consult and coach municipalities and cities, regional associations, cantons, federal offices and international organisations in their efforts to define them. Together, we develop research and service projects tailored to our clients’ needs.
