Public spaces
Lively public outdoor spaces form the basis of liveable cities. They provide security and create identification, which in turn leads to a high degree of participation in public life. This participation is a fun-damental precondition for a city to fulfil its central task: the social integration of its inhabitants. Public spaces are more important than buildings. They alone can make a city come alive.
When can we bring your public outdoor spaces to life?

Public buildings
Thanks to our many years of experience, we know what is needed for visitors to easily orientate themselves in a public building and to safely find the quickest route to their destination. We know how to plan and construct advertising spaces so that they complement instead of com-pete with the building architecture, while still generating high returns. We know how to utilise tailor-made light and signage solutions to cre-ate a unique «building personality».
When can we help make the character of your public building come alive?

Public & individual transport
Mobility is the beating pulse of a city. Liveable cities create the space and enable the solutions for a successful coexistence of the most diverse mobility requirements. New concepts such as «human powered mobility» and new motorised modes of transport (kick-boards, hoverboards) are clear signs that public transport zones face constant change, and must adapt.
When can we support you in updating your traffic zones for the mobility of the future?

Traffic planning for liveable cities
Lighting & electrotechnology
In this age of «Internet of Things», roads can detect drivers and pedestrians and can adapt their illumination according to demand and daylight. Knocked-over bollards can automatically contact the maintenance team, and stopping points know when trains are late and can cheer waiting passengers with electronic vouchers for local res-taurants and kiosks.
When can we help you to realise the digital future in your public space?
