With <\/span>more and more<\/span> people living in urban environments, it is crucial to ensure the liveability of these areas. It is not enough to take the effects of climate change, such as heat waves and water scarcity, into account: we must also actively work to achieve climate adaptation<\/a> and promote biodiversity<\/a> in our cities.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n

Guided by the international agenda<\/h2>\n

A transition agenda for resilient cities<\/a> is being put forward by the United Nations and Europe. Both national and regional policy frameworks are also being brought into line with this agenda. We aim to implement these measures in all our projects.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
