Urban development \u2013 solutions for cities and municipalities<\/h1>\n

Urban development brings together solutions for urban planning, construction, mobility and infrastructure into functional whole. Sweco helps cities and municipalities create vibrant, safe environments that adapt to extreme weather events, support resilient growth and make everyday life smoother far into the future.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What does urban development mean?<\/h2>\n

Urban development means development of cities and municipalities so that housing<\/a>, mobility<\/a>, construction<\/a>, the environment<\/a> and services form a functional and vibrant whole. It brings together economic, social and environmental objectives while ensuring the performance of critical infrastructure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Urbanisation continues both globally and in Finland: by 2050, more than 70 percent of the world\u2019s population and around 80 percent of Finns will live in cities.<\/p>\n

Cities are simultaneously facing challenges related to growth, climate change, the economy and security, which highlights the importance of long-term planning, sustainability<\/a>, resource efficiency<\/a> and resilience<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At Sweco, urban development is centred on vibrant, healthy and pleasant everyday living and working environments. We help cities and municipalities reduce the environmental impacts of construction<\/a> and transportation<\/a> in line with their strategic objectives. We offer municipalities a multidisciplinary, data-driven and impactful planning approach for sustainability work and sustainable urban development. We act as an intermediary between the public and private sectors and help create partnerships that promote sustainable urban development.<\/p>\n
