Population growth, demographic aging and climate change are some of the major challenges Switzerland is facing. We support the Swiss government and various cantons in the conception, development, implementation and evaluation of their spatial development policies.

We support our clients in understanding spatial developments, estimating future developments and examining the effects of their spatial development policies. With our interdisciplinary approach and our experience at all levels of scale, we can help our clients make well-informed decisions and to align and adapt spatially relevant policies in a targeted manner.

This is how we support you:

• Analyzing spatial structures and developments using geospatial data
• Analyzing social, economic, technological and ecological trends and assessing spatial impacts
• Designing and developing spatially relevant sectoral policies, including spatial planning, regional policies, agglomeration policies and transportation policies
• Developing and establishing monitoring and controlling instruments
• Evaluating strategies, programs and measures

In our work, we place special emphasis on coherent spatial development that is well-aligned with spatially relevant sectoral policies and intensive interaction between the federal government, cantons, regions and municipalities.
