— our story

From Academic Vision to Urban Mission

Our journey started researching at the Technical University of Munich, where we developed GOAT—Planning software that closes the gap between GIS and practical planning. What began as scientific research quickly became our passion, evolving through countless hours of coding, testing, and refining.

Through GOAT, we discovered a deeper conviction: planning needs new approaches to build sustainable and future-proof cities. That belief led us to found our own company — and the name came naturally: Plan4Better.

Since we founded our team has grown, our network has expanded, and clients across Germany and beyond are leveraging both GOAT and our consulting services in their daily work. Our motivation remains the same: we bridge science, technology, and practice, making urban planning more accessible, collaborative, and impactful.
