Both large- and small-scale spatial and infrastructure projects today often face resistance from local residents, action groups and parties with opposing interests. Complex and ambiguous regulations, full of exceptions and deviations only intensify this. The result? Conflicts, legal disputes, and projects that grind to a halt.

The environmental mediators at Witteveen+Bos tackle exactly this. From the very first project question, we work to map, reconcile and align the interests of public and private stakeholders, seeking shared solutions within concrete spatial projects.

We proactively identify, engage and manage all external parties (residents, businesses, authorities) and their interests, with the aim of fostering mutual understanding, limiting disruption, building support and enabling project objectives to be achieved more smoothly.
