INGETEC | RESILIENT CITIES AND TERRITORIES

Strengthening urban and territorial resilience

Ingetec operates across cities and regions to enhance the urban environment and improve the quality of life for residents.

Co-designing cities with residents to enhance quality of life

Des gens qui pointent du doigts des lieux stratégiques sur une carte

We support projects from the early urban planning stages (master plans, pre-operational studies, etc.) through to full project management, including design and construction supervision. Our team provides comprehensive project oversight to ensure full compliance through to project delivery.

We bring together our multidisciplinary expertise—mobility, regulatory and environmental studies, and hydraulic engineering—to define ambitious, environmentally responsible projects. We also coordinate all stakeholders (site supervision teams) and engage in collaborative planning with local residents, users, and public authorities.

Designing sustainable public spaces, from city centers to rural towns

Our team helps deliver public spaces tailored to today’s challenges and aligned with public policy objectives. Our approach integrates environmental concerns and anticipates the transformations of coming decades. We consider all components of public space — existing networks, soil conditions, reuse potential, root systems — as well as the diverse expectations of stakeholders (project owners, infrastructure managers, government agencies, utility providers, etc.).

Based on these factors, we design urban planning and resilience projects that include the creation of cooling islands, soil de-sealing, nature-based hydraulic systems, and reuse of materials to reduce natural resource extraction.

Our operations focus on redeveloping city centers, public transport corridors, urban renewal areas, multimodal hubs, cycling infrastructure, parks, brownfields, and employment or residential zones.

Public spaces, from metropolitan city centers to village cores

Cities of today and tomorrow

Over the past few years, territorial resilience has been reshaped by major regulatory, environmental, and political changes. But further progress is essential to build better-connected regions and urban centres that meet today’s needs—livable, sustainable spaces where pedestrians are at the heart of the design.

Creating such cities requires a broad range of technical and operational expertise—skills that Ingetec mobilises on every project. Our vision for the future of public space includes the renaturation of urban environments and the development of robust, adaptive infrastructure to meet the challenges ahead.

Combining mobility, public health and urban comfort

Whether in urban or rural settings, planning decisions must balance the preservation of quality of life, public health protection and user needs. With this in mind, Ingetec systematically adapts its expertise to the specific context and challenges of each project.

Our teams work directly on all aspects of urban mobility—from vehicle traffic, active transport modes and parking strategies, to multimodal integration. We also collaborate with specialised partners to address issues such as noise pollution, public health risks, and urban microclimates.

The goal is to deliver tailored and efficient solutions, address existing shortcomings, and anticipate future challenges, particularly those linked to energy constraints and climate change.

Protecting water resources and ensuring sanitary conditions for all

Cities and territories are facing multiple challenges in safeguarding water resources: reducing soil sealing, recharging groundwater tables to support food security, preventing epidemics by providing universal access to sanitation and clean water, managing floods and rising water levels caused by climate change, and ensuring the right to safe drinking water for all.
Our engineers pay close attention to these issues and continuously innovate to enhance territorial resilience.

Short supply chains and low-carbon materials

Our experts take the project approach as far as possible by optimising existing materials, sourcing from local quarries, limiting imports, and engaging local SMEs on worksites whenever possible.
Low-carbon materials are systematically preferred, and the environmental impact of each solution is a key decision factor in our recommendations.

Combating urban heat islands and reintroducing agriculture into our neighbourhoods

Cities must be designed with both current and future uses in mind. Ingetec envisions urban spaces where pedestrians reclaim their place, and vegetation mitigates urban heat island effects.

Our experts develop tailored strategies for each situation, supporting the emergence of a city where residents can reconnect with their environment and produce part of their own food.
We believe that urban renaturation is a key driver for enhancing territorial resilience.

Cost-conscious project development

Aware of limited public funding, our engineers support project owners in securing grants and subsidies, while continuously ensuring budgetary balance throughout the process. The objective: striking the right balance between resilient infrastructure and cost-effective project delivery.

Our resilient cities and territories lead expert

To support your projects, Ingetec relies on a multidisciplinary team of more than 80 professionals across 8 offices, including experts with over thirty years of experience in their field.
