Culture and development

Balancing historical preservation with economic development is critical in cultural heritage projects. We navigate this “conflict” by leveraging our extensive experience in various settings, including many UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Our projects have spanned from the Charterhouse of San Lorenzo at Padula, Italy, to the cultural landscapes of Niger, the historic Medina of Fez in Morocco, the Walled City of Lahore in Pakistan, the iconic Pyramids of Giza and Pharaonic Temples in Upper Egypt, the sacred city of Kandy in Sri Lanka, the historic centres of Berat in Albania and Bethlehem in Palestine.
