Area Development Advisor

The Junior Area Development Advisor works on sustainable and future-proof urban development. Urban areas are under increasing pressure due to housing demand, limited space, and complex preconditions. Simultaneously, transitions in energy, circularity, and nature are taking place, making area development complex.
