Sweco is building tomorrow’s sustainable communities and cities. BUUR Part of Sweco is the leading multidisciplinary research, planning and design team within Sweco Belgium. Together, we’re translating our shared ambition of ‘Transforming Society Together’ into concrete visions and projects for the spatial transition.
It takes a village. Our communities and living environments are becoming more and more complex. All of the challenges are urgent. It’s now more important than ever for tomorrow’s living environments to be designed sustainably, for ourselves, our children, and our planet. Doing so requires ambition, creativity, and innovation in every field. So, it’s our responsibility to tackle this challenge by talking to all of the players concerned, across multiple disciplines and in all sectors, as well as in different contexts. By providing innovative visions and solutions, BUUR hopes to contribute towards creating quality living environments, establishing sustainable urban development, and providing responses to the complex social problems affecting our living environment. We’re working to build dynamic, healthy cities transitioning to a circular economy, create quality spaces suitable for a multicultural society, and design integrated ecosystems as well as develop versatile (transition) networks.
Combining the activities of Sweco and BUUR allows us to strengthen our expertise in strategic and spatial planning, urban design, mobility, environment, and ecology, as well as in creating public spaces and landscapes. That means we’re not just playing the role of designer, we’re also making connections. What we guarantee is an integrated vision, as well as collaboration across various disciplines like urban planning, infrastructure, energy, construction, and environmental technologies.
We see the majority of our projects as catalysts that will allow for partnerships and cooperative structures to be formed, in order to develop new value chains. These chains are what create the conditions needed to initiate and strengthen urban development.
