Urban strategy and planning

We provide our expertise to regions and territories  that are embarking on ecological transitions, strengthening their resilience, and regenerating through new methods of construction, living, and mobility. setec organisation supports local authorities in these developments to shape the territories of tomorrow.

As a committed consultancy, we aim to support cities and regions in their ecological transition, placing people at the heart of their strategies and projects. We offer comprehensive studies in urban strategy and planning, from diagnosis to operational implementation, with a strong emphasis on the systemic consideration of resilience and ecological transition challenges.
