Spatial and settlement planning
The cross-disciplinary task of spatial and settlement planning at Emch+Berger encompasses the integrated planning and coordination of the areas of settlement, transport, infrastructure and landscape. Our goal is to ensure sustainable and future-proof development through long-term coordination of these areas.
In a time of increasing requirements and diverse interests, a holistic approach to spatial and settlement planning is essential. Our approach focuses on prudent and efficient land use in a manner appropriate to the location. We coordinate the various spatial planning activities proactively and always in consultation with the people affected and their environment. We also comply with the legal standards.
Our services at a glance
Spatial development strategies
We develop long-term spatial development strategies that ensure sustainable and balanced spatial development. Our strategies are based on sound analyses and take future developments and challenges into account. By drawing up detailed development plans, we support municipalities, cities and regions in formulating and implementing a clear vision for their sustainable future.
Land use planning
The aim of our land-use planning is to optimise the use and development of land. We draw up comprehensive plans that take into account both the needs of the population and the requirements of sustainable development. In doing so, we integrate ecological, economic and social aspects to ensure balanced and sustainable land use.
Neighbourhood and special use planning
We plan and develop specific neighbourhoods and special use areas. In doing so, we ensure harmonious integration into the existing environment and the creation of attractive and liveable spaces. Our neighbourhood planning takes into account the needs of residents and creates a variety of opportunities for use that contribute to the vibrancy and attractiveness of neighbourhoods.
Traffic planning
We develop concepts for efficient and sustainable traffic management. The aim is to optimise traffic flow while minimising the impact on people and the environment. We take all modes of transport into account and develop integrated solutions that meet the requirements of today and tomorrow. Further information on traffic calming measures and the design of attractive shared spaces can be found on our traffic planning page.
Energy planning
Our energy planning supports cities and municipalities in ensuring a sustainable energy supply. By developing integrated energy concepts and action plans, we lay the foundation for an efficient and enviromentally friendly energy future. Our approach to energy planning takes account of local conditions and the interplay between energy generation, distribution and consumption in order to meet energy demand and minimise CO2 emissions optimally. We develop tailored solutions that incorporate both ecological and economic aspects, thus creating the basis for a resilient and sustainable energy supply.
Terrain surveys and models
We use precise terrain surveys and models to record existing terrain formations. This data forms the basis for sound planning and decision-making. Our modern digital tools enable us to create accurate and detailed models that serve as the basis for further planning processes.
Development and design planning
We ensure the efficient and aesthetically pleasing development of new construction areas. We guarantee that the infrastructure is optimally planned and implemented. This includes the planning of roads, paths, squares and green spaces that contribute to the attractiveness and functionality of the area.
