Our Domains Of Influence
Our 'Domains of Influence' encompass two pivotal spheres: Ecology at the Urbanization Threshold, along with Community Engagement. Within each domain, diverse projects are undertaken that link the two domains and focus on solutions that can be implemented. We are committed to the health of urban ecosystems and its communities, fostering sustainable development and collective well-being.
