The project in brief<\/h2><\/div>

The economic development agency of the state capital of Hanover<\/a> gave us a clear mandate: to develop an organizational and implementation recommendation for city centre management<\/a> to <\/b>accompany the integrated concept for a resilient city centre.<\/p>\n

The aim of the project was to develop a city center management system that is a communication, networking and control unit in one<\/b> – and develops future-proof impulses for the transformation of the city center.<\/p>\n

It was clear to us that a city center consists of many players and numerous interests. That is why sustainable models can only be developed in cooperation with the public and private stakeholders<\/a> of the city center – taking into account expectations, existing processes and interfaces. <\/p>\n
