Developing
cities and regions

Identifying the needs of emerging cities and regions

We work closely with public and private bodies to advise on implementing new strategies for the organisation, management and development of cities and regions.
The cross-cutting and complementarity expertise of our team coupled with a responsible approach have always been our driving force since our first urban projects for the World Bank in Africa, over fifty years ago.
Today, Groupe Huit is a recognised and lead player in international urban development.

Groupe Huit is part of the independent Keran Group (650 staff, €63 million in annual revenue).

Since its foundation, Groupe Huit has nurtured a humanistic approach to address urban and regional development and to achieve a positive impact on society and the environment.
Our commitment focuses on the operationalisation of sustainable development goals by promoting:

# Inclusiveness
# Competitiveness
# Urban resilience

This means designing sustainable urban policies that are tailored to specific local needs and correspond to sustainable and integrated economic models. 

A new milestone was achieved in June 2022, with the adoption of the status of Benefit corporation (social and environmental purpose with specific sustainability goals) for the Keran Group. It is a strong governance statement that is committed to contribute to the common good, be it environmental, social, societal or economic.
