Strategies for city centre development<\/h1><\/div>

Finding a vision, strengthening identity, shaping cities: We design future visions for city centres<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The challenge<\/p>\n<\/div>

Strong or weak for the future: What is the pulse of your city?<\/div><\/h2><\/div>

The city centre is the heart of a city. It is the crystallization point for the self-image of the entire city – it is where the pulse of the times beats. The attractiveness and functionality of the city centre reflect the future viability of a city.<\/p>\n

But wait! – Today, city centre are often just shopping districts and have lost their historical functions as identity builders of the urban self-image<\/i>, as places of democratic processes <\/i>and for living, education and communication<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The focus on retail has been a promising consensus for decades, but it has been an existential weakness even before coronavirus: Expansive online retail, suburban mega shopping centres and interchangeable mass offerings are threatening many city centres. Including your city? <\/span><\/p>\n

We develop visions and provide you with strategic advice on how you can <\/span><\/span>identity recapture the identity of your city centre – and increase its multifunctionality<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span> <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>

Our approach<\/p>\n<\/div>

Our curatorial principle: activate the city’s own resources<\/h2><\/div>

The “genius loci” – the DNA of a city – is unique and the starting point for our strategic consulting. That is why we design strategies, structures and processes for and with the people of a city.<\/p>\n

Our aim is to combine urban, municipal and private interests – for a lively dramaturgy. In doing so, we follow our <\/span>“curatorial principle”: in<\/span> dialog and networking with city stakeholders, we draw on the city’s own resources to identify identities and develop visions. <\/span><\/p>\n

We <\/b>think and act in an interdisciplinary way – determined by our distinctive understanding of the functionality and impact of a city at the interface of urban development, city marketing and culture.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>
