Expertise in
Urban Design

Atelier Urbain is a specialist in the design of urban environments ranging from street-scale projects to neighbourhoods or even public squares. Our approach to urban design helps create opportunities and generate benefits for the community. Projects are designed to take into account the full range of urban dynamics: multiple users, economic functions, architecture, vegetation, cultural activities, recreation, safety, mobility and more.

“Urban design holds the potential to unveil a community’s identity and transcribe its highest aspirations into physical space.”

Understanding the essence, history and genius of a given environment enables us to design projects that go beyond urban art or aesthetics. Atelier Urbain’s urban design addresses the major issues of resilience that affect all infrastructures, while providing concrete solutions to specific local needs. Our proposals are drawn up in collaboration with all stakeholders, to create a living environment that reflects the unique identity of the community.
