Cities

Broadgate, London.
DEGW UK

Process is at the heart of DEGW’s Urban Strategies practice. We believe that the processes by which buildings and cities are programmed and designed, and the processes by which people are engaged in a dialogue about their communities, are just as important as the physical forms they eventually take.

We are committed to understanding context; engaging users and stakeholders in meaningful ways; developing research methodologies that lead to informed decisions; and to making innovative and lasting design recommendations that embrace and effect change at an urban scale.

Working with governments, city planners, and real estate developers, DEGW’s approach to urban strategy is designed to:

  • Deliver flexible recommendations that are responsive to time and location;
  • Provide solutions that address how organisations interface with the city; and
  • Engage communities and stakeholders.
