They also create visions that enhance open spaces and heritage plans that bring back the historical soul of places. It’s all about creating integrated, future-proof landscapes that stand the test of time.
Vibrant Urban Environments: Making Cities Work Better
Urban areas face big challenges—think increasing population, limited open space, mobility issues, and social inequality. OMGEVING responds with an integrated approach that prioritizes sustainability and social added value. They focus on reinforcing cores to protect open spaces, creating inclusive neighborhoods that improve living quality, and integrating work hubs and mobility in ways that are future-proof and sustainable. The goal? To make urban environments that aren’t just places to live, but places to thrive.
Inclusive Neighborhoods: Designing for People
Inclusive neighborhoods are all about high living quality where everyone feels welcome. OMGEVING designs projects on a human scale, aiming to generate real social impact. It’s not just about the buildings themselves, but also the mix of housing types, how people perceive the space, and the layout of public areas. Inspired by the users of tomorrow, these neighborhoods are enjoyable, useful, and created together with the community. It’s a design approach that truly connects people.
