Our Vision and Approach
Identity
Neighbourhoods, cities and regions with a recognizable identity are attractive to live and work in. Areas with their own character are experienced as valuable and will exist for a long time. These areas are sustainable, especially when their character is based on functional use of local and social resources.
Co-creation
Solutions for urban problems must last. They should serve both people and businesses and nature. Therefore solutions should be thought out together, be it save public space around schools, local energy supply and improvement of a neighbourhood, agro production in urban regions or innovative economy. In an international context Urban.nl has developed, tested and applied methods and instruments that help to solve urban problems in an effective way against reasonable costs and that are widely supported.
Tailor-made services
Urban.nl does not offer standard solutions, our services are tailored to fit. We achieve this by cooperating with professionals from different disciplines from our international network.
Means
Urban.nl conducts neighbourhood scans, supports vision-building processes, organises scenario workshops, analyses plans and projects on effects, designs decision trees, sets up Implementation Labs and implements demonstration projects. And we know our way in European subsidy programmes.
