Putting people at the heart of planning

Være Social

HI THERE. WE’RE VAERE (VAIR) SOCIAL

We offer social sustainability advisory services to create better places for people.

The word være (“VAIR”) is the Norwegian word for ‘be’. It is also part of the word valvære which means wellbeing. Wellbeing is at the core of creating better places for people.

At Vaere, we advise on urban planning projects through a social lens, placing people and community at the heart.
