Landscape Planning

Landscape planning covers both planning of urban parks and spaces and planning in the rural landscape. Development of green areas contributes to increasing the quality of life and experiences of the citizens, and it often creates synergies and supports other objectives such as attractive settlement or urban development.

Our core services within the rural landscape are municipal landscape planning for nature, cultural heritage, outdoor life, water protection, green strategies, landscape and nature policies, landscape character mapping and other theme analyses as well as rural district development. In urban areas focus is on strategies as well as planning and management of green spaces.

NIRAS performs landscape planning in a holistic perspective where themes such as health, climate adaptation, sustainability, cultural heritage, public participation and linking to urban development are always integrated in our planning approach and solutions.
