DIAGNOSIS
Understanding a territory before acting
Each territory has its own dynamics. Before taking action, it is essential to understand its political, social, and historical issues.
Why choose this approach?
Don't make a mistake: Anticipate blockages and understand the situation before acting.
Communicate better: Construct a discourse adapted to local realities.
Flexibility: An adaptable approach depending on the needs and scale of the project.
Flash diagnosis
A quick read to understand the main issues in a few days.
Deep immersion
Field work that feeds into the project's strategy and narrative.
Territorial storytelling
Stories that strengthen your legitimacy and your connection with the territory.
“We have developed a methodology that combines strategic expertise, field immersion and territorial activation.”
CONSULTATION
Involve and build a vision
An urban project cannot be decreed; it must be built with its users, residents, and stakeholders. Urban consultation should not be a mere obligation, but an opportunity to develop appropriate, legitimate, and sustainable solutions.
ATHP offers dialogue and co-construction mechanisms that enable us to overcome opposition and arrive at negotiated and shared solutions.
Implementation of a tailor-made approach
Participatory workshops, surveys, shared diagnosis, digital technology, in situ experiments to improve the quality of projects and avoid blockages
Translating urban issues into accessible tools
Writing, mapping, scenario visualization, interactive models in order to create a culture of participation and structure coherent communication
Support for communities and project leaders
Structuring dialogue with residents, the community network and economic players
Urban mediation and resolution of tensions
Work on perceptions and representations to overcome conflicts of use
Let's start a vision :)
Do the city or beyond
PROGRAMMING
Structure a vision and a coherent project
Urban planning is not just a series of projects, but rather an overall coherence that gives meaning to the transformations of a territory. Urban planning makes it possible to anticipate, guide, and structure these developments while taking into account local dynamics, user needs, and political ambitions.
At ATHP, we support you in identifying levers for action, striking a balance between vision and feasibility, and laying a solid foundation for your urban, development, and revitalization projects. Our approach is based on a strategic and contextualized analysis to help define a project's broad guidelines and translate them into operational actions.
Construction of a functional and coherent spatial program
Articulation of uses, timescales, and possible synergies to clarify intentions and structure a project with specific, shared objectives. It also involves integrating local, regional, and metropolitan dimensions to ensure effective implementation.
Urban planning in the present
Making the city is an act that interacts with the temporalities of the city and which calls upon different tools in order to propose solutions to the present.
Development of a narrative vision
Anchor the project in a shared history that facilitates its appropriation and deployment by providing a structuring framework for decision-makers and local stakeholders.
