Experience: Urban & Regional Planning

The consistent involvement of LMV through the years in a large number of towns and cities resulted in a comprehensive range of projects. The large number of smaller projects are thus not reflected in this profile. The experience profile mainly indicates the broad spectrum of activities that we perform and provides more details on certain projects only.

The following list of projects is by no means comprehensive, but aims to show work performed in different work categories.
