Research, strategy and advice on mobility and placemaking.
Independent research, strategy and advice on mobility and placemaking.
How cities get made, and for whom. Strategy that survives contact with the street.
Cities for people, not for traffic
The car reorganised the city faster than anyone ever decided it should. JANSTAD works from the opposite starting point: streets, districts and networks designed around the people who use them, at a scale a person can actually feel.
Human scale, approved by residents
How a place really works is decided at walking and cycling speed, not on a plan drawing. That perspective is a working method here. Every proposal gets tested against the experience of the people who move through it every day.
Daring visions of mobility
Streets can carry more than traffic. What if the space we hand over to movement also became room for play, rest and everyday life? Curiosity belongs in the process, alongside the discipline to turn an idea into something a municipality can actually build.
Shaping Sustainable Urban Cycling Networks
We transform urban mobility through strategic consulting with a core focus on cycling infrastructure. Our vision drives sustainable city planning and greener urban futures.
What JANSTAD does
Research, strategy and advice on mobility and placemaking, from first analysis to what actually reaches the street.
Mobility Strategy
Cycling and mobility strategies from analysis to adopted plan, including the implementation path that decides whether a plan ever leaves the drawer.
Research and participation
Urban research and SUMP processes, built with the people who live with the outcome. Evidence that holds up in a council chamber and in the street.
Placemaking
Public space from first study to evaluation. What a place is for, who it currently excludes, and whether it works once it has been built.
Shaping Urban Mobility and Cycling Networks
Three ways JANSTAD works with municipalities, planning offices and organisations.
Urban Cycling
Designing comprehensive cycling strategies and infrastructure for modern cities.
Mobility Strategy
Developing sustainable transport frameworks tailored to your community.
Cross-border practice
Dutch cycling and street design experience, adapted to the legal, financial and cultural reality of the city that has to build it.
