Our special expertise gained from numerous projects in small, medium-sized and large cities  regarding the planning of parking space – mostly targeted at the preparation of a parking space concept – is in demand when the traffic connection to sensitive city areas needs to be provided. The traffic demands are always a response to urban use – living, trade, handicraft, public services, culture and educational institutions.

Under consideration of the needs of all kinds of transport – individual, business, public urban transport, bike and pedestrian tracks, we develop strategies and tools to manage the parking space for the entire area by taking the particular place and case into consideration. In developing the concept of activities we pay attention to details, even labelling the particular parking areas, for example.
