Mobility concerns making areas accessible, the development of new mobility concepts and the implementation of ‘street’ policy (such as parking policy, electric mobility). Smart mobility, Mobility as a Service (MaaS) and new modes of transport are becoming increasingly important.
Infrastructure projects concern realization, redesign and integration of roads, public transport infrastructure, cycle paths and parking facilities. These projects involve tasks connected to traffic flow and road safety, physical integration, environmental aspects and procurement, management and financing.
These projects are always aimed at integrated improvement of both the use and quality of the public space in the urban environment. The aspects involved are placemaking and use, integration of functions, quality of life, climate and sustainability, concrete design and spatial quality.
This concerns the development of new residential areas, industrial estates, recreational areas and the redevelopment of existing urban areas or public transport hubs. By providing space for living, working and recreation, the economy and the quality of the living environment can be enhanced.
Real estate relates to location development, purchase of land and real estate, redevelopment and real estate management. These are connected to aspects concerning spatial quality, accessibility, parking and sustainability, such as buildings that are energy efficient and do not use natural gas.
Energy focuses on the organization and realization of new forms of energy generation by the sun, wind and kinetics, and their applications. Issues arising from this also relate to smart grids, heat exchange, CO2 pipelines and building without natural gas.
Water activities cover flood defenses in both urban and rural areas, as well as water quality and drought. Projects often involve strategies based on water use and management, or relate to opportunities for collaboration with other professional fields.
Ensuring the circular nature of resource flows is a necessity for achieving climate targets and independence from finite resources. Issues concern aspects such as boosting entrepreneurship, removing obstacles and the spatial impact of a circular economy.

project management and consultancy
Project and process management
Project management concerns structured and controlled preparation and implementation of physical measures. Process management focuses on defining project parameters for money, time and quality, setting up the project organization and streamlining collaboration.
Cooperation between residents, companies and others involved within projects. The amount and level of participation can vary. Often this relates to information and participation schemes, stakeholder management and formal consultation in spatial procedures.
The transition to a new sustainable economy and new forms of energy demands a different approach than 'traditional' development. These activities require streamlining of behavioral and cultural change as well as carrying out and learning from experimental projects.
Collection and analysis of information and proposing areas for improvement related to the approach used in projects and programs, agreements and operational plans. Often in the form of an evaluation or a second opinion.
Providing consultancy about the approach, organization and funding of spatial tasks. Often in the form of a process plan or project plan, business case, governance model, procurement or development strategy.
