Typical challenges
Municipalities develop through strategies and decisions that are based on the municipality's needs and national objectives with varying degrees of emphasis. Development in municipalities encompasses a wide range of areas, including infrastructure, education, health, climate, environment, settlement, culture and economic growth. All of these areas are influenced by political, economic and societal factors. Through analyses, we help municipalities ensure that decisions are sustainable and targeted at creating value for citizens, users and businesses.
How we help
We provide insight into the development of municipalities. We support municipalities through analyses, studies and advice. Our collaboration is typically based on specific needs for decision-making basis for interventions, policy development or planning.
Although each task is unique, authorities have many common challenges, and therefore we draw on experience from similar tasks, or on ready-made concepts that make it easier and faster to obtain insight and results for the municipality.
Insight into urban structures and opportunities
We prepare decision-making bases for regional and urban development by systematizing professional and local knowledge. We help translate knowledge into development plans and programs for urban renewal.
What we offer
Based on professional knowledge of urban planning and stakeholder processes, we help clarify the identity, challenges and potential of cities, and we assist in translating insights and objectives into concrete plans. The service we offer is an aid to administrations and other actors in the work of strengthening strategies and plans for cities and districts of all sizes. At Plangruppen, we have extensive experience in collaborating with municipalities, ministries and foundations on urban development, and we have in-depth knowledge of methods in urban development.

Typical challenges
Developing cities need professional input and decision-making basis, which our services help to provide. Urban development, settlement and quality of life in our cities face a number of challenges. Growing cities have opportunities to develop cities and urban districts in different directions, which require consideration of the future and a planned approach to a number of issues, such as housing stock, sustainability, mobility and infrastructure. Smaller cities and rural areas similarly face a number of challenges that affect settlement, economy and quality of life in rural areas.
Sustainable cities mean that citizens have access to affordable housing, safe and secure environments, grocery stores, public transportation, social communities, opportunities for physical activity, economic opportunities through access to jobs and education, along with democratic opportunities to influence the development of their cities and habitats.
Plangruppen helps with analyses, decision-making and professional assistance to tackle these challenges and opportunities.
