Our Approach

# Offering the right expertise at the right time 
Groupe Huit brings its cross-cutting expertise to a broad array of projects, either in the identification, implementation or evaluation stages.

# Participative dialogue with stakeholders
We employ a cross-cutting approach that comprises both generalist and sector-specific expertise (cities and regional development, decentralisation and municipal development, tourism and heritage, socio-economic development, infrastructure, market facilities, etc.), using methods based on constant dialogue with local partners.

# Addressing the clients’ and users’ needs and ambitions
Our in-depth knowledge of a wide range of emerging countries and the multiple stakeholders involved in urban and regional development, allow us to manage projects in an efficient manner even in the most complex environments. One of Groupe Huit’s core assets is the ability to bring together and coordinate multi-disciplinary teams, ensuring and efficient execution of urban studies and projects that meet the requirements of local authorities and international donors

Emerging cities are experiencing rapid, massive and uncontrolled urbanisation. This trend is a consequence of population growth, which is unlikely to slow down in the near future. Additional needs are emerging on the top of ongoing problems (lack of infrastructure and services, environmental dysfunctions, insalubrious housing, etc.). In this context, many governance and development issues are still to be addressed.
Adopting for a global urban vision – incorporating political, social, economic and environmental issues as well as urban planning, technical and architectural aspects – we are constantly reviewing our methods to deliver the most relevant solutions to cities and regions.
