FAQ
Public affairs refers to strategic communication with politicians, public authorities and societal stakeholders. The aim is to explain projects clearly, to set out interests transparently and to establish constructive dialogue to inform political and administrative decisions.
Ideally, before the formal process begins. An early analysis of decision-making processes, stakeholders and areas of conflict allows time to develop robust arguments, foster dialogue and build acceptance.
No. Public affairs and acceptance communication complement legal, planning and technical project work by conveying information in a way that is tailored to the target audience and by structuring dialogue with relevant stakeholders.
Suitable for project developers, property owners, investors, urban developers, infrastructure and real-asset companies, construction firms, associations and other project sponsors requiring coordination with local authorities, politicians or regulators.
