Sustainable real estate & territorial development

What are you looking for?


The town or city council plays an ever-growing role in the management of spatial developments. But they are becoming more complex and the investments and risks involved are increasing. That is why we contribute to policy issues concerning the design and implementation of various spatial projects.

Real Estate and Masterplan Design and Feasibility

IDEA Consult supports both public and private landowners in the development and utilisation of their assets to strengthen the environment, to improve quality of life, and to enhance the attractiveness of the territories. Our experts establish development
strategies for a range of sites.

Following commissioning, the IDEA Consult team leverages site positioning analysis, specifies the territorial development objectives to which it can contribute, identifies potential competition, outlines the resources necessary for its development, and estimates the revenue it can generate.

Enabling resilient territories and industries

We support public and private stakeholders in defining strategies and policies designed to reduce their environmental impact and to help adapt society to climate change.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) points out that climate change is significantly influenced by human activities and demands urgent action from all actors and institutions.

The linear "extract-manufacture-dispose" production cycle and the
consumption model contributes to resource depletion and environmental degradation. IDEA Consult plays its part in ameliorating this damage by facilitating the transition to comprehensive sustainable practices and integrating environmental and social resilience.

Our approach to strategic territorial development is based on:

Multiscale Foresight Analysis: This establishment of milestones for land use planning actions that preserve the uniqueness of territories. Simultaneously, it permits unparalleled engagement with contemporary challenges and dynamics, including the essential environmental transition.

Spatial and Housing Policy Design and Evaluation

IDEA Consult helps local, regional, and European governments to design, develop, and evaluate public policies, regulations, and mechanisms aimed at addressing the challenges of housing accessibility and territorial development.

An efficient housing policy relies on a mix of tools, each targeting a specific income category and life phase. These tools vary different parameters, such as the share of household contribution (from the smallest to the highest depending on the financial stability of the targeted households), the nature of the contracts (rental, sale, or dismemberment such as emphyteusis or Community Land Trust), and the duration of the conditions (temporary (AIS) or indefinite (social housing)). The quality of the articulation of these parameters will determine a good housing policy.
