Urban design and sustainable mobility system planning

We empower cities and regions to grow sustainably through integrated master planning and future-focused transport strategies. Our value lies in connecting spatial planning with mobility demand to unlock land potential, enhance connectivity, and drive inclusive economic development.

Delivering liveable urban spaces

Well-designed urban areas do more than meet the technical requirements of roads, green space or commercial areas. By combining urban planning, transport strategy, and socio-economic analysis we can deliver holistic solutions that enhance quality of life, attract investment, and foster long-term economic and environmental value.

Central to a successful master plan is the integration of a sustainable, efficient and user-centred transport network. Developing or optimising a multimodal transport system will help maximise land value and development potential; improve accessibility and reduce travel time; support climate resilience and environmental goals; and stimulate local economies and social equity.

Bold vision, proven impact

At Haskoning we combine real-world understanding and engagement with stakeholders with use of advanced tools like parametric design and GIS, to optimise infrastructure, transport, and land use.

Our multidisciplinary consultancy integrates expertise in planning, engineering, climate resilience, inclusive growth, and resource efficiency;supported by robust financial and environmental feasibility studies.For public entities, our work supports spatial policy implementation, regulatory compliance, and community wellbeing.

For private clients, we unlock development potential, reduce risk, and enhance project viability and we support infrastructure providers in the creation of future-proof networks that support long-term socio-economic benefits.

Together, we create connected, liveable cities that deliver measurable impact and enduring value.

Helping solve urban planning challenges

Evolving working habits, social expectations and increased regulatory pressure are all influencing urban planning. We develop planning strategies that help planners and developers tackle challenges like climate adaptation, sustainable mobility, energy transition, healthy cities, and institutional resilience - resulting in resilient designs that attract investment, guide growth, meet sustainability ambitions and enhance the quality of life.

Master planning

Our approach to urban planning combines data-led insights with real-world user experience. We use our knowledge of global best practice to create transport systems, cities, economic hubs and developments that meet the needs of residents and businesses and support environmental ambitions.

Shaping better outcomes

Exploring potential with digital tools

To address the complexity of urban development and multimodal transport systems and to maximise flexibility in our design solutions, we embrace the latest digital modeling technology and parametric design. This approach allows us to explore and analyse a wide range of scenarios, enabling our clients to make better, faster decisions.

Global experience, local insight

We plan residential, industrial, commercial and recreational areas that reflect cultural and social heritage whilst introducing ideas and planning methodologies from around the globe. With colleagues based in over 60 countries worldwide, we bring insights that allow us to assess the potential impact of innovations when translated into a local context.

Research-by-design approach

‘Trying and analysing’ is crucial for learning what is possible and where choices need to be made, ultimately solving complex integral issues in a visble and collaborative way.

Strategic advisory

We cover the entire urban planning process from feasibility studies and business cases to engagement, master planning and technical design. Whether working with public bodies or private clients we can tailor our services to suit client need and project phase, helping us provide the right support at the right time.

Our research by design approach allows us to adapt in real-time, ensuring a dynamic and responsive design cycle. We create a collaborative environment where innovative solutions can thrive.
