What stadtland does

stadtland planung GmbH is an independent Austrian spatial planning consultancy founded in 2004 and headquartered in Vienna (Kirchengasse 19/12, 1070 Wien) with a regional office in Bregenz. The firm employs approximately 11 staff and is led by two managing directors, Dipl.-Ing. Ulrich Blanda and Dipl.-Ing. Herbert Bork. Its core offering is an integrated portfolio of twelve interconnected planning services spanning regional planning, local planning, district and quarter development, citizen participation, social space planning, process and procedure accompaniment, environmental assessment, climate-sensitive planning, energy spatial planning, landscape and open space planning, research, and UNESCO World Heritage management.

The underlying technology is methodological rather than software-based; stadtland's differentiation rests on codified planning procedures (Kooperative Planungsverfahren, Beteiligungsprozesse), deep expertise in Austrian spatial planning law (including the Vorarlberg Raumplanungsgesetz), and licensed credentials to deliver legally mandated outputs such as Strategic Environmental Assessments (SUP), Environmental Impact Assessments (UVP), and Heritage Impact Assessments (HIA). Notable deliverables include the UNESCO World Heritage Management Plans for Wachau, Semmeringbahn, and Fertö/Neusiedler See, and the Grünes Netz Graz green infrastructure concept defining over 560 km of walking paths. The firm pairs an in-house interdisciplinary team with a long-standing consortium of specialized partners (Rosinak & Partner, Salzmann Raumplanung, StudioVlayStreeruwitz, TU Wien, ÖIR, Komobile).

Revenue is generated exclusively through fee-based professional services commissioned by public-sector clients. GTM is direct enterprise field sales into Austrian municipalities, cities, regional authorities, and federal agencies, supplemented by referrals and a 2024 VCÖ-Mobilitätspreis Wien award for the Tik Tak Galilei mobility project. No pricing is publicly disclosed, and projects are acquired through public tenders and direct commissions. The customer base is exclusively public sector, spanning all eight Austrian states plus Liechtenstein (Gemeinde Vaduz), with no disclosed revenue, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
