Research:

Lamers Urban Policy Consulting carries out various research projects, always in close coordination with the client. We never do less than necessary, nor do we do more than necessary. Research and consultancy are complementary: a thorough analysis of the situation is a good basis for a tapered advice.

Our specialism is to make the perceptions of the target group and the professionals visible. We use different qualitative research methods, which allow the story behind the facts to come to fore (see methodology section). Our research is always tailor-made, and our area of expertise is the social pillar of the urban policy – see themes.

We recognise the added value of using relevant academic frameworks combined with practical insights from professionals. This generates innovation and enlarges the realm of possible solutions. Academic theory and practical knowledge together form a guideline to examine the obstinate reality and formulate appropriate answers. Lamers Urban Policy Consulting translates the lessons learnt into the methodologies used for tackling issues in the social pillar of urban policy (see methodology section). We develop learning opportunities within institutions and organisations through researching, analysing, policymaking and implementing, reporting, learning, and publishing.
