RSUP Approach
What we do
RSUP offers strategic planning, urban economics, strategic infrastructure advisory with a heart for nature based solutions, alongside expert foresight, policy advice, innovation management from our base in the Berlin region, Germany. We describe this approach as Urban Physiology.
Urban form provides the structural framework of a city — its physical layout, buildings and spatial order. Our work operates at the level that shapes what form must ultimately respond to. We analyse how cities function in practice: how people move, how capital circulates, how resources flow, how institutions interact and how infrastructure performs under stress. Cities and regions are positioned within their wider economic, political and environmental systems before spatial decisions consolidate them.
We focus on the circulatory, respiratory, nervous and muscular systems of cities — societies, economies, environments and infrastructure — and on the strategic intelligence that coordinates them. This systems perspective allows us to address the accelerating transformations affecting both the built and natural environment.
We specialise in urban scale digital transformation, sustainable development and resilience strategies to address the accelerating changes impacting both our built and natural environments.
Driven by the conviction that we must not only prepare for rapid change but also proactively shape the future we envision, our work centres on building system resilience to achieve transformative outcomes.

Innovation Management, Foresight and Future City Visioning, Smart City Research and Consulting, Strategies and Development Frameworks, Technology Impact Assessment, (Data) Governance Concepts, Sustainable Urban Development Concepts, Circular Economy and Asset Management Strategies, Resilience Strategies, Path Dependency Analysis, Experiment & Iterate Processes and System Design.
