MIA Research & Consultancy

As consultancy and by the help of studies and pilot projects we support the implementation of sustainable spatial development.

We take on the methodological development, process, and project management.

In the framework of international or national consortium work we are happy to take care of pilot projects on site. While doing so, we ensure feedback loops for the integration of local findings into the scientific data. We guarantee cross-communication between several pilot projects among different pilot cities.

MIA Urban Living Labs

Urban Living Labs are increasingly used in innovative projects, communities, and scientific programmes to safeguard mutual project support of all involved actors/inhabitants and increase future-proof development.

They have a wide range of applications such as policies & governance, urban design, and landscape planning.

Together with citizens, key-stakeholder, and scientists we elaborate solutions for challenges in the thematic fields of spatial justice, ecology, climate adaptation, circularity, and local economies.
