Direct peers

• Even Conseil: Independent French consultancy specialized in urban planning, PLU/PLUi elaboration, SCoT, and territorial development — directly competes with Planèd for the same public-sector tenders and serves the same intercommunal authority clients.
• Citadia Conseil: French urban planning and sustainable development consultancy, now part of Egis Group, offering SCoT, PLUi, environmental assessment, and territorial strategy services to French local authorities — directly comparable service portfolio and customer base to Planèd.
• Devillers & Associés: Paris-based urban planning and architectural agency with strong SCoT/PLUi practice; mentioned as Planèd's consortium partner on the Aix-Marseille Métropole PLUi, indicating closely overlapping service offerings and shared client base.
• Espelia: French public-sector strategy consultancy specialized in public policy evaluation, territorial diagnostics, and local public finance — serves the same French local authority clients as Planèd, with adjacent rather than overlapping core methodology.
• Blezat Consulting: French territorial strategy and development consultancy serving public authorities with economic development, territorial strategy, and food/agriculture planning services — overlapping mid-tier French consultancy positioning with Planèd.
• Auxilia: French environmental and urban planning consultancy offering environmental assessment, SCoT/PLUi support, and territorial transition services to local authorities — closely overlaps with Planèd's EcoVia-linked environmental capabilities.
• Agence Folléa-Gautier: Paris-based urban planning and landscape architecture agency working on SCoT, PLUi, and major urban projects for French public authorities — comparable boutique-scale positioning and public-sector client overlap with Planèd.

Broad incumbents

• SCE (Setec Group): French engineering and environmental consultancy offering urban planning, environment, and infrastructure services to public clients — comparable service lines but operates at significantly larger scale and scope than Planèd's boutique cooperative.
• Egis Group: Large French engineering and consulting group that owns Citadia Conseil, offering urban planning as part of a much broader transport, infrastructure, and environment portfolio — competes for major metropolitan planning mandates but does not focus exclusively on the SCoT/PLUi niche where Planèd specializes.

Others

• Agence d'Urbanisme de la Région Grenobloise: Public-sector urban planning agency for the Grenoble metropolitan area, mentioned in Planèd's partnership data as maître d'œuvre général on PLUi Bièvre Est. While not a competitor (agences d'urbanisme are public bodies), it is a key ecosystem counterpart that frequently partners with or competes against private consultancies on the same tenders.
